BS in Physics Program Highlights
Industry Careers
Recent graduates have gone on to work as a research engineer at Cleveland Clinic, an electrical engineer at NASA, a quality engineer at L3Harris, a national defense contractor, and a software engineer at Zin Technologies, an aerospace software company. While the range of potential careers for an engineering physics major are broad, what all graduates share are expert technical skills, wide ranging problem solving abilities, and the ability to communicate ideas clearly through research, writing, and interpersonal skills.
Spotlight
As a physics student, you鈥檒l spend 1-2 semesters completing a research project during your senior year. Recently, seniors worked under the supervision of Dr. Kara for their capstone project to develop machine learning approaches in magnetic resonance fingerprinting, analyzing MRI images in a new way.
Featured Faculty
鈥淭he physics training and foundation in problem solving using math, computers, or simply critical thinking allows for an ability to transition from challenge to challenge as the world changes in the future. Our graduates often advance in responsibility in their careers more quickly than their peers in technical fields due to their way of seeing the world through the physics lens.鈥
