Overview

Students majoring in ECE with an applied physics emphasis develop the devices, systems, and technologies used to implement modern electronics devices and systems. Further, they support research into new technologies that, for instance, could extend Moore's Law or allow for development of quantum scale devices beyond Moore's law.

Depending on the courses selected, completion of applied physics area coursework can provide additional understanding of topics in electromagnetics, quantum mechanics, and electronics, solid state devices, space systems and electronics, and information processing.

Students interested in the applied physics elective focus area are encouraged to consider the interest and FA course selection suggestions listed below when completing their plan of study form.
