Explore Engineering Physics at Lycoming College! Gain hands-on experience and prepare for a rewarding career. Apply now for international student opportunities!
Lycoming College's engineering physics major allows students to develop thorough knowledge of applied physics principles and understand how they interact with and support the engineering industry. A hands-on curriculum with access to advanced equipment and technology prepares students to tackle complex, 21st-century problems in areas such as aerospace, biophysics, nanotechnology and the energy industry. Majors will focus less on theoretical physics and more on applied fields, such as electronics and computer science. A major in engineering physics at Lycoming College will qualify student to pursue a graduate degree or pursue careers in a wide range of engineering areas. Student Opportunities: Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art lab instrumentation, such as a scanning electron microscope, in the classroom and for research. Collaborate with faculty members on physics research initiatives. Work with a professor as a laboratory assistant or with the Academic Resource Center a course tutor to develop as a future educator. Conduct research in machine learning, astrophysics, or combustion as part of an international collaboration in the nonlinear and complex systems research laboratory. Pursue competitive internship opportunities with both local and national businesses and organizations. Publish research in scientific journals and present at local and national conferences. Work toward induction into Sigma Pi Sigma National Physics Honor Society. Graduate Outcomes: More than half of all astronomy and physics majors continue their education at graduate schools. Those students who decide to enter the workforce upon graduation find employment relating to their major, ranging from teaching to industrial research and positions in government labs.
