Introduction

Physics is the study of the laws of nature, utilizing scientific principles, logic, and a bit of imagination to allow for a more complete understanding of the universe. At Florida Poly, we provide a fundamental understanding of the rules that govern nature, ranging from the quantum mechanical to astrophysical scales.

The Engineering Physics Degree

A bachelor's degree in engineering physics builds on the mathematical and scientific foundation of courses taken during the student’s first two years of study. This degree has four physics core courses (classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and electricity and magnetism), and four engineering core courses (statics, materials, engineering thermodynamics, and electrical engineering). All provide insight into differing scientific and engineering perspectives.

Florida Poly’s innovative design sequence sets our degree requirements apart from other universities. Students take a series of courses each semester to prepare them for internships and research, culminating in the senior capstone design, which tasks teams of students to create solutions for real-world industry challenges.

A Degree Customized to Your Interests

This degree program is customizable through its required three engineering electives and two physics electives. Engineering electives provide opportunities to pursue topics primarily in mechanical and electrical engineering, while physics electives can include courses exploring nature on the subatomic and astrophysical scales.

Engineering Physics vs. Mechanical Engineering?

Both degrees rely heavily on a strong foundation in mathematics and physics, resulting in the first three semesters being nearly identical. In Mechanical Engineering, the focus is on preparations to become an engineer. In Engineering Physics, that goal is shared with the intent to prepare you as a scientist.

The Engineering Physics degree is for those generally interested in engineering who also have an interest in science and understanding the rules that govern the universe. Those who are fully focused on becoming a mechanical engineer would be better suited to that degree program.
