<p>Just curious as to what it is and what the major is like. I dont mean Physics for engineering either.</p>
<p>engineering physics is exactly “physics for engineering”
cornell is ranked top for this program.
check this out
[School</a> of Applied & Engineering Physics (A&EP) - College of Engineering - Cornell University](<a href=“http://www.aep.cornell.edu/eng10_page.cfm?webpageID=29]School”>http://www.aep.cornell.edu/eng10_page.cfm?webpageID=29)</p>
<p>Physics is just a general term that describes a bunch of physical phonemona. Many many many decades ago math, physics, chem never separated, really. LMAO</p>
<p>Engineering Physics is a stronger focus of applied physics. You can choose an area you like and take a few lab courses in that area, as opposed to applied physics you really don’t.
You apply physics, math, and other science together.</p>
<p>so whats the difference in majoring in that vs. “regular” physics</p>
<p>Watch the video on this page:</p>
<p>[UW-Madison</a> College of Engineering: Engineering Physics](<a href=“http://www.engr.wisc.edu/ep/engrphys/newepdegree.html]UW-Madison”>http://www.engr.wisc.edu/ep/engrphys/newepdegree.html)</p>
<p>Regular physics = you study more in depth, more general physics (from college physics to quantum mechanics and beyond)</p>
<p>This will prepare you for real physics career, and graduate study in physics, just more thoroughly. If you want to move on with theoretical physics, particle physics, regular physcis is the right way to go with.</p>
<p>Depends on the schools, in our school we have standard physics, biophysics, applied physics, material physics, and astronomy. </p>
<p>Some courses in standard physics will not appear in those other physics programs.</p>
<p>as contramundum suggested, the video tells you a lot.</p>
<p>very insteresting. The reason i ask is because i just found out this major even existed and with my recent interest in physics, it increased my curiosity. Anyone on here an EP major or know one?</p>
<p>You can go to Cornell forum. I am sure there are plenty. But they don’t always come to the engineering forum.
Or even better. You can go to physicsforums.com (extremely famous)
I am not promoting, but CC doesn’t always have them available</p>
<p>Wikipedia has decent info about this branch: [Engineering</a> physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_physics]Engineering”>Engineering physics - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>I seriously thought about this major for grad school because of its interdisciplinary curriculum. When I was researching schools for this major, it seemed like you were required to take quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and electromagnetics then form you own engineering specialty for the rest of the 30 credits.</p>
<p>Well I suppose that if your undergraduate major is not identical to your graduate study, more or less, you have to complete all the prerequisites before continue with the rest of your graduate study.</p>
<p>Thats true, Globaltraveler</p>
<p>At my school, the EP major is just physics with an engineering core and a specialty in the engineering disciplines (chem, bme, ee, etc). Thats kinda why i asked this since it doesnt make sense to me. why not just do a physics or engineering major or if its like that at all schools</p>
