<p>I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge as to what Engineering Physicists do, or any decent sites about the profession. I've been trying to research the profession with very limited success.</p>
<p>One of our professors used to teach in an Engineering Physics program. Most people who graduate with this degree work as engineers. They tend to be well rounded engineers, which many companies want to hire. They would compete for the same type of jobs that MEs and EEs would.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. So would you say that this is an advantageous degree to pursue? When you say that many companies want to hire them, are you implying that some would prefer not to? </p>
<p>To clarify, I definitely intend on going to graduate school. And from what I understand, EngPhys grads can enter a variety of disciplines for grad school, right? I'm choosing this major because I love Math and physics (but moreso math), and because it seems extremely versatile.</p>
<p>I think that most companies would be comfortable hiring an engineering physics major. I think it is a good major and it seems well suited for graduate school.</p>
<p>I also believe EP is an excellent program and very valued by employers. Extremely versatile as well. EP is extremely challenging and very rewarding.</p>
<p>I'm personally not interested in graduate school, so which would be better, pursuing a traditional degree, or pursue an EP degree?</p>
<p>Sorry to bump an old thread...but do you guys think an engineering physics major w/ a minor in ECE would have similar job opportunities to someone w/ a major in ECE? I'd like to someday work in the computer hardware industry (my dream job would be with Apple), but I also really like physics. Cornell (where I'm going) doesn't offer a minor in AEP, so that's kind of out of the question.</p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
