Offered by the Department of Physics
The honours programme in engineering physics was introduced to prepare students for jobs where physics is used to solve industrial problems. Some of the main focus areas areas of this programme include electronics, automation and instrumentation.
Students are selected for this programme at the end of their second year. A total of 120 credit hours are required to complete the degree programme. Students are required to complete a final year research project under the close supervision of a faculty member.
Degree Aims
- Provide a sound conceptual basis in physics, and electronics.
- Train the students to apply concepts and principles in the formulation and solving of representative physics problems and situations in industry.
- Educate students in the methodology of research.
- Foster the development of effective oral and written communication skills.
- Develop cooperative skills through group and teamwork activities.
- Enable students to acquire basic study skills and develop independence of learning.
Entry Requirements
A minimum GPA of 2.00 at the end of Level II for all registered academic courses along-with a GPA of 3.00 for PH and AM core courses and a minimum B grade each for PH 1021, PH 2021.
