This concentration prepares students to work in high technology areas in which solid engineering training, combined with a broader background in physics is valuable. Through technical electives, students can specialize in modern laser physics, solid-state electronics, or energy conversion. Technical electives are chosen from computer science, electrical and computer engineering, mathematics, mechanical engineering, and physics.

Engineering students blaze trails with their studies, impacting human health, infrastructure, law, business, space science, education, energy, and the environment. The College of Engineering assists its students in all aspects of career development. See Terry Comerford, Engineering Career Development and Co-op Program Coordinator, to learn more about resumes, interviewing, job search techniques as well as major selection and career paths. Terry's office is located in the Scott Bioengineering Building, Engineering Success Center - Room 102. Our alumni have taken their educations in a variety of directions. Here are some specific areas of research and study that faculty are bringing to their classrooms and laboratories. This innovative work has propelled students to amazing careers as professional engineers, doctors, lawyers, research scientists, educators, as well as government and business leaders.
