About Engineering Physics
|
|
UBC Engineering Physics (EngPhys) is a highly interdisciplinary program designed to fulfill the needs of those driven by a passion for invention, scientific curiosity, and creativity. Typical students in EngPhys are bright, innovative, have a strong sense of adventure and a desire to turn their ideas into real science and technology advances. Students in EngPhys obtain the equivalent of an honours physics degree plus a strong background in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
Students may use a core of technical elective courses to obtain specialized training in areas such as Biophysics, Bioengineering, Applied Math, Astronomy, Project Management, Earth and Ocean Sciences, Alternative Energy, Materials Engineering, and more. Students graduating from this program go on to industry engineering work, research, commerce, as well as graduate studies at top schools such as Stanford, MIT, CalTech, Harvard and others, all of whom recognize the strength of our program. Due to the breadth of their expertise, UBC EngPhys alumni hold executive and founding roles in many of BC’s high tech companies.
UBC Engineering Physics is looking for talented and physics-motivated high school students to attend an orientation event where they can find out more about our program as well as career opportunities in Engineering Physics.
