TECHNICAL
PHYSICS
This
program is directed toward preparing the Bachelors Degree
holder for work in industry and government laboratories. Modern
technologies require a variety of advanced skills to solve
problems. Physics provides a unique background that complements
the training of others (e.g. Engineers, and Mathematicians)
so that graduates with the Technical Physics Option will be
competitive in the job market.
This
course of study emphasizes laboratory experiences and takes
advantage of as many laboratories as are possible in the program.
A strong overlap with Electrical Engineering is also made.
