Engineering Physics Accreditation
The Engineering Physics program combines a broad education in physics, mathematics, chemistry, and computing with a solid foundation in the engineering sciences and engineering design. The result is a graduate who is prepared to work in a rapidly changing environment where several scientific and engineering disciplines overlap.
杏吧直播间 State University's Engineering Physics program is accredited by the .
Recognition by this organization has been earned by only 22 Engineering Physics programs nationwide. Graduates are eligible to sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination, the first step in proceeding to licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE).
Along with completing the core curriculum, each engineering physics student may select a track in electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering, or in advanced physics. You will learn techniques in solving engineering problems, and you will develop the applied background to attack new engineering challenges creatively.
