| Description: | The total time from admission to Engineering to graduation with a B.Eng. Society in Engineering Physics is five years. Graduates of the program provide valuable feedback, which helps to maintain the relevance of the undergraduate curriculum to current engineering applications. One of the strengths of the Engineering Physics program is that it is very broadly based and prepares its graduates to pursue a wide range of career paths. All students in the program obtain a background in electrical science, engineering materials, classical and quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, data acquisition and handling, mathematical physics and numerical analysis. The core courses in Engineering and Society provide our students with a deeper understanding of how their future engineering practice will influence and impact their communities. Within the context of historical analysis, public policy development and evolution of green engineering we investigate how technology affects society and how in turn society influences the development of technology.
As for all engineering disciplines at McMaster, students in our programmes have the opportunity of applying for an industrial internship. If successful, the student typically is employed on industrial placement from the May following his/her third year in the academic programmes and returns to school for Level IV in September of the following year. |
