Engineering Physics
Bachelor of Science
Introduction
Engineer your future.
The study of physics explores how matter moves through space and time, from molecules to galaxies. Engineering focuses on finding practical solutions to real-world problems, big and small. Together, these areas of study give you a better understanding of how (and why) things work.
The Engineering Physics major at 海角社区 combines the tangible and theoretical, preparing you for high-demand careers in both growing and emerging industries such as biotechnology, sustainable energy, aerospace, civil engineering, materials science, and medical physics.
At 海角社区, you will develop far more than technical knowledge and proficiency. Rooted in the Jesuit liberal arts tradition, our program will also give you the communication, collaboration, and ethical decision-making skills needed to thrive in today’s engineering landscape.
Project-Based Learning
Experiment and discover in modern lab facilities. Embark on an engineering design project. Our program is hands-on by nature, and you’ll get plenty of practical experience.
