Engineering Physics

[Schrodinger]

I know that it [Engineering Physics] isn't a very widely popular major nor is it offered by all engineering departments.

Figured there is at least someone on ATOT who is majoring in it ?

Or perhaps not. It is quite hardcore looking at some of the curriculum...I'd imagine you wouldn't have much time available if that was your program.

Check out these two Canadian schools with it:

http://engphys.mcmaster.ca/

Has anyone even considered it?

I would still rather pursue pure physics (with, of course, a heavy amount of math credits) rather than dedicate time to the engineering discipline required as part of the degree.

Nonetheless it still sounds quite interesting for those who could handle it.

I have a friend who got an Engineering Physics degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Univeristy (was his roommate in college). He has pretty much worked at NASA on sattelites since graduating about 10 years ago. Has a masters degree now I think from Johns Hopkins (or at least has been working on one for a while).

I had to take Engineering Phys I, and II for Engineering, I took III to get a Phys minor, and it was boring...nothing like true phys though, I'm sure
