AEP’s M.Eng. program provides valuable graduate training and research/design project experience sought after by industry, government and R&D organizations. It combines an interdisciplinary curriculum with a research or design project focused on applying physics to scientific and technological problems. The curriculum is tailored to fit the needs of individual students, and the project offers an opportunity for independent research under the supervision of leading scientists and engineers.

Advantages include:

• The challenge of applying physics to scientific and engineering problems
• An opportunity to pursue a flexible interdisciplinary curriculum
• An opportunity for research experience with top scientists at the leading edge of their disciplines
• A chance to gain advanced technical experience and specialized laboratory skills at a world renowned research institution.

The Curriculum

Students combine a research or design project with electives selected from a variety of applied physics related graduate fields. Thirty credit hours are required, which includes six to twelve credits for the design project. Courses include a core curriculum of applied quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and applied mathematics in addition to electives in areas of applied physics, computer science, engineering, or biotechnology. The flexibility of the curriculum allows students, in consultation with their advisor, to select a program of study to meet their individual interests and educational goals.
