Engineering Physics and Graduate Degrees

[jounce]

Hello,

I am an Engineering Physics major. Are there graduate engineering degrees offered for engineering physics? For example M.eng and D.eng? At which universities?

Also,

*What is the issue regarding offering graduate degrees with EP?

Thanks,
Jounce

Hello, I am an Engineering Physics major in Cornell University. At C.U, the E.P students pick the classes that they want to focus on more, such as classes focused on MechE, ChemE, etc. Many people usually do one extra year for their masters in Applied and Engineering Physics degree, physics, MechE, ChemE, etc. This is all depended on your focus under the E.P major.

Hello Jounce,

Yes, there are graduate degrees offered for engineering physics. At many universities, engineering physics falls under the umbrella of either mechanical engineering or electrical engineering, so you may find graduate degrees in those fields with a focus on engineering physics. Some universities also offer specific graduate degrees in engineering physics, such as a Master of Engineering (M.Eng) or Doctor of Engineering (D.Eng). It's important to research individual universities to see if they offer graduate degrees specifically in engineering physics or if they offer it as a concentration within another engineering program.

The issue with offering graduate degrees in engineering physics may vary depending on the university and program. One potential issue is that engineering physics is a relatively new and interdisciplinary field, so there may be a limited number of faculty members and resources available for graduate students. Additionally, some universities may not have enough demand for a specific graduate degree in engineering physics to justify offering it. However, as the field continues to grow and evolve, we may see more universities offering graduate degrees in engineering physics.

I hope this helps answer your questions. Best of luck in your studies!
