Course Details

BS in Engineering Physics

Course Description

Master the principles of matter and motion in the engineering physics department at Fordham—and then build something. We designed this program to prepare you for a career or graduate study in mechanical, electrical, or civil engineering in a variety of industries. You’ll study a broad range of fundamental engineering and physics principles in classes, the teaching lab, research projects, and internships. You can take the classical path to a degree in engineering physics—four years at Fordham—or pursue a five-year double degree in physics and engineering, including two years at Columbia or Case Western. You’ll graduate ready to take the next step towards a career in architecture, business, engineering, finance, law, medicine, secondary education, and other fields. You’ll learn more than engineering physics here. You’ll also study philosophy, theology, history, literature, languages, science, and the performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. The engineering physics major is available at Fordham College at Rose Hill. The engineering physics has three concentrations: Mechanical Biomedical Electrical Facilities and Research Opportunities In the Engineering Physics Teaching Laboratory, you use high-tech equipment to explore the physics of materials and simulate real world automated assembly processes. Equipment includes: Material testing setups Fluid dynamics experimental workstation Programmable assembly line LabView, MATLAB, Mathematica software Youll use our computational resources for modeling and simulation of mechanical, electrical, and environmental engineering and physics phenomena and processes. We have active research programs in nuclear?and particle physics (theory) and in theoretical condensed matter (mesoscopic and nanoscale) physics. Our experimental research focuses on: Materials science Polymer physics Low-temperature physics Liquid crystals Medical physics Laser optics Other smart, creative, research projects: Biomedical engineering Building a chess-playing robot Spectroscopic detection of melanoma Radar and visual data fusion for tracking bullets in flight
