Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Engineering Physics] From University of Pacific

The curriculum of the program from University of the Pacific educates students to work in areas where technology is changing rapidly and where the boundaries of several traditional engineering disciplines overlap.  Examples areas of multidisciplinary fields in need of engineering physicists include:

• robotics

• mechatronics

• micromachines

• lasers

• medical imaging and instrumentation

• electronic materials

• nanostructures

• superconductivity

• optics

• quantum electronics

• plasmas

Upon graduation, graduates will have:

• an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

• an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.

• an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

• an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.

• an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

• an ability to communicate effectively.

• the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

• a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

• a knowledge of contemporary issues.

• an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
