Dual Degree Programs with Electrical and Computer Engineering
The Department of Physics and Optical Science offers two dual degree opportunities with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. These dual degrees are designed to broaden and enhance the education of students in engineering degree programs. Students can obtain a B.S. Physics and B.S. Electrical Engineering dual degree or a B.S. Physics and B.S. Computer Engineering dual degree. Students completing the dual degree can complete the “W” in the Physics major requirement by taking 3 credit hours chosen from the following engineering courses: ECGR 2155 , ECGR 2156 , ECGR 3155 , ECGR 3156 , ECGR 3253 , or ECGR 3254 . Students in this dual degree program are not required to fulfill the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences foreign language requirement (see the CLAS General Education section in this Catalog for additional information).
B.S.E.E. and B.S. in Physics
To obtain a dual B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Physics, an undergraduate student must complete all requirements for the B.S.E.E. degree as established by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In addition, the student must complete 12 hours of upper division physics courses specified by the Department of Physics and Optical Science with an average grade of C or above. To meet the upper division physics requirements, students must complete the following courses: PHYS 3121 - Classical Mechanics I , PHYS 4241 - Quantum Mechanics I , and 6 elective hours (at the 3000-4000 level) chosen from a list of approved courses available from the Department of Physics and Optical Science. These 6 hours of Physics elective credit must be taken under PHYS course numbers. A B.S. in Physics under this program will be awarded at the same time as or after the B.S.E.E.; the B.S. in Physics degree will not be awarded in advance of the engineering degree.
