This option is a good fit for students who want to specialize in a specific area of engineering. We have transfer agreements to streamline the process with partner institutions Portland State University and Case Western Reserve University.
- Engineering physics major. Engineering physics Â鶹ӰÊÓs are qualified to take engineering exams, apply to Â鶹ӰÊÓ school, or enter the workforce in a variety of roles and industries. This program is a good option for students who want a strong foundation in the fundamentals of engineering and physics that are not limited to one engineering specialization. It is also a good option for student-athletes who would like to participate in athletics for all four years of their program.
