Physics is the most fundamental science and underlies the understanding of nearly all areas of science, technology, and engineering. Physics is concerned with the study of energy, space, time, matter, the interaction between material objects and the laws that govern these interactions at various scales from sub nano-scale to light-years scale. Physicists study mechanics, sound, heat, light, electric and magnetic fields, gravitation, relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, solid state physics, wave-like properties of particles and particle-like properties of radiation. Engineering physics is not a specific branch of physics but the application of all branches of physics to the broad realm of practical problems in scientific and industrial settings, engineering design and applications, applied science, and advanced industry. Engineering Physics (EP) is the interface of physics with specific areas of advanced or emerging technology, which are not covered in depth under the traditional engineering education such as applications of optics, acoustics, and materials in fields such as nanotechnology, telecommunications, medical physics and devices, or advanced and electronic materials. The Engineering Physics degree is a flexible degree designed to interface physics with applied sciences and engineering disciplines. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics (EP) degree at Kettering University unifies the physics knowledge applications in optics, acoustics, and advanced materials with a comprehensive engineering component emphasizing the systems engineering approach to prepare graduates for engineering applications in emerging technology. The well balanced curriculum in Engineering Physics provides a solid education combined with desirable skills that could lead to a career in industry and government sector as well as graduate studies in applied sciences and engineering.
