Engineering Physics - Harvard University

Engineering Physics from Harvard University is a Campus Bachelor Engineering Physics degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Staring in the fall of 2005, a new option in Engineering Physics will be available to Harvard students enrolled in the A.B. degree program in Engineering Sciences. Simultaneously, the Physics Department has created a new Applied Physics option within the Physics degree program. The area allows students to explore "the ever more complex" world of quantum phenomena (strange states where the traditional rules of physics no longer apply) and to study, and even manipulate, materials atom by atom. Harvard is especially strong in emerging areas such as: small-scale and nanoscale "systems" fabrication and construction ( engineering the world at 10-9 meters); condensed matter/materials science (from new types of gels to black silicon); quantum electronics (creating increasingly small circuitry and DNA-inspired computing); and modern optics (using and refining femtosecond and quantum cascade lasers). Because Engineering Physics is inherently broad and interdisciplinary, relevant courses cover multiple areas, including the intersections of: applied physics , biology, chemistry, engineering sciences, geophysics and physics . As a student in Engineering Physics you can ... -Develop a deep understanding of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, electronic and photonic semiconductor devices, material physics , and continuum physics . -Work in some of the world's most sophisticated nanoscience and materials science laboratories -Gain exposure to tools and methodologies with relevance to all areas of science, technology, and medicine View more details on Harvard University .
