Engineering Physics at SFU
The Engineering Physics option offers a unique blend of strong fundamentals
in science, mathematics, engineering design and practice, and computing
skills - but especially Physics. This demanding program was set up to build
on the strengths of the School of Engineering Science and the Physics
Department and focuses on optics, opto-electronics, advanced semiconductor devices and
microelectronics.
The emphasis in this option is on Engineering and Physics fundamentals and
their applications. Concepts and ideas, a strong academic foundation for
advanced education, and opportunities for career growth, mobility and
flexibility.
The ENPH goals are to:
- provide graduates with a sufficient background in both electronic
engineering and physics that is compatible with the requirements of
prospective employers, particularly in the areas of research and
development where engineering and physics overlap;
- ensure that students are equipped with fundamental and applied
knowledge relevant to engineering principles and practice;
- emphasize ideas and concepts;
- enable graduates to pursue graduate studies in either discipline.
Our graduates have gone on to further studies at Stanford
University,
The University of Toronto,
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and SFU.
Typical careers are:
- applied researcher;
- R&D Engineer in the area of semi-conductor devices and opto-electronics;
- microelectronics engineer;
- technical support engineer.
