THE ENGINEERING PHYSICS

PROGRAM, LED BY TOP

ENGINEERING AND PHYSICS

FACULTY, PREPARES STUDENTS

FOR CAREERS AT THE PINNACLE

OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES.

EXTENSIVE PHYSICS TRAINING

PLUS EXPERTISE IN A VARIETY

OF ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES

PROVIDES CAREER FLEXIBILITY.

Students working with the applied physics research group are developing novel components for solar cells, synthesizing and testing organic-inorganic hybrid polymer systems for flexible electronics, and designing components for the next generation of quantum computers.

Engineering Physics students have opportunities to explore a variety of lab experiences, including Jayhawk Motorsports, aircraft design, or renewable energy.

Engineering Physics at KU is one of only 22 ABET-accredited engineering physics programs in the country.

CONCENTRATIONS:AEROSPACE SYSTEMS

CHEMICAL SYSTEMS

DIGITAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS

ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTROLS

Research opportunities with national and international collaborations include understanding the constituents of dark matter and dark energy, developing and testing new cosmological theories for the origin and fate of the universe, and computationally modeling the black holes at the center of galaxies.

OV E R V I E WWhether it’s understanding the science underlying

engineering or learning how to apply fundamental

science to technology, KU’s Engineering Physics

Program provides a unique opportunity for students

to study engineering and physics simultaneously

and thoroughly. It prepares students equally well

for immediate careers in industry or for pursuit of

graduate degrees in physics or engineering. From

nanoscience and renewable energy research to

the study of particle physics at the Large Hadron

Collider to the development of new astrophysical

models for the origins of the universe, this program

offers a unique breadth and depth of opportunities.
