2011-2012 Catalog

The Engineering Physics program at Tarleton State University is an ABET accredited B.S. engineering degree program with emphases in selected areas of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Materials Physics. Students are prepared for employment as an engineer and for engineering licensure, as well as for graduate studies in selected areas of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Physics. Extensive study in mathematics, engineering, and physics gives the Engineering Physics graduate the ability to design components, processes, and systems to meet specifications and the ability to work and communicate effectively in team-oriented, project-management-driven environments. Computer simulation and modern analytical tools are used to solve physical and electrical problems. Software development, hardware integration, and testing of microcomputers, microcontrollers, and design of microelectronic circuitry provide the graduate with the tools to apply computer and software-based solutions. Additional studies in ethics assure that the graduate understands engineers’ special responsibilities to protect the health and well being of the general public.

The first two years of the Engineering Physics program consist of the courses in the Engineering Program. In order to ensure that students have the solid foundation needed for success in upper level coursework, the student must complete designated courses in the Engineering Program with a grade of “C” or better before being admitted into upper level Engineering Physics coursework.
