Engineering Physics, B.S. in E.P.

Program Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to:

• identify, formulate, and solve complex problems in science and engineering by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• recognize ethical and professional responsibilities and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
