Program Summary

Engineering Physics is a challenging and elite program for those students who want to combine the strengths of physics and engineering. You will obtain an unusually broad and strong foundation in material science, applied physics, electronics and nanotechnology, and learn to apply it in the development of new technologies which include, but are not limited to, nanotechnology, semiconductor devices, optical systems, telecommunications and related computer hardware. In your senior year, you may specialize in many other areas of interest.

What students are saying

Engineering Physics offers the best of both worlds: my physics courses gives me a solid foundation in first-principles thinking, and my engineering courses give me a design-based approach to problem-solving. In my second year, I can start to see the possibilities that this opens up, from graduate studies in biophotonics to working in industry on semiconductor devices. I like that the program is small because it makes it easier to bond with other students and get help with assignments, but we're also part of the Carleton Students Engineering Society, so we still get to hang out with other Engineering students, too.
