Engineering Physics
Bachelor of Science in Engineering
Program Description
Engineering Physics is the interdisciplinary study of engineering and physics with
a particular emphasis on solving complex, real-world problems. The engineering physics
curriculum includes an emphasis on engineering design, much like any engineering program,
while also including more advanced physics than a typical engineering degree. Engineering
physics graduates are well suited to applying state-of-the-art technologies to problems
in engineering design and manufacturing where established approaches are insufficient.
Graduates of engineering physics typically work in high-tech, industrial, and manufacturing
settings on teams with other engineers, scientists, engineering technologists, and
management to solve real-world design and implementation problems. APSU's BSE degree program in Engineering Physics is accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org. See ABET's Why Accreditation Matters page for more information on ABET accreditation.
