BS Engineering Physics

This Program of Emphasis includes two options: 1) 3-2 engineering (two degrees) in cooperation with one of our four affiliated engineering universities, and 2) 4-year, engineering-oriented Juniata College degree. These two options are structured to allow a student to aim toward engineering school either by participating in our 3-2 engineering programs or by completing a four-year program at Juniata. Option 2 would further provide a technical background for a person who wishes to seek general employment in a technical industrial situation which does not require specific engineering training. The mathematics sequence in these three options offers the necessary problem-solving techniques and discipline required for the upper-level physics courses at Juniata and the upper-level engineering courses at an engineering school. The first two years of physics consists of a broad introduction to the field, providing basic knowledge and initial analytical skill development. Substantial laboratory work is included in these options to insure contact with concrete phenomena.
