The Engineering Physics Major

Engineering Physics (EP) at UW-Platteville is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

The major is a multidisciplinary engineering program combining applied physics, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. The EP program is structured to develop engineers with a sufficient background in physics and engineering to address multidisciplinary engineering problems and/or engineering problems of a nontraditional nature.

The Faculty

The Engineering Physics program consists of seven faculty, two instructional staff members, and a laboratory manager. The EP faculty have academic credentials in engineering, engineering physics, and/or physics. Many also have industrial experience in engineering, physics, or both.

The Facilities

In 2009 we moved into the newly built Engineering Hall. The facilities include a state-of-the-art optics lab, sensors lab (with high-end electronics instrumentation), a Modern Physics lab, and two computer/student workspace labs. Lastly, we have our very own electronics and wood/metal machine shop to support the multitude of projects throughout the year.
