The programs of the College of Engineering & Physics are designed to develop intellectually curious and socially conscious minds that can create knowledge, carry out interdisciplinary research, and provide transformative solutions for the betterment of society. A sound knowledge of engineering and related disciplines is required so that the graduate can work effectively with other engineers, scientists, and technicians in fulfilling challenging assignments. Further, emphasis is placed on relevant general education to make college graduates aware of society’s concerns in addition to technical issues, such as safety, aesthetics, economics, and the cost of energy and science in their decision-making process. Clear and precise communication skills, oral and written, are required for delivering judgments, drawing plans, and making decisions.
The College of Engineering and Physics encompasses have the following departments:
Classes are conducted by highly-qualified and motivated faculty in smart classrooms, which are networked and equipped with the latest computers and teaching equipment. Students are encouraged to work in groups whenever possible and are given projects especially in junior and senior level courses to foster creative thinking and team work. Many courses contain labs to expose the students to the experimental and practical aspects of presented materials in classrooms.
The departments have many modern facilities to carry out quality research in various areas. The research activities in each department are divided into main groups. Some of these groups are: aerodynamics, aerospace structures, flight dynamics & control, propulsion, communication systems, control systems, digital systems, electromagnetics, electronics, energy systems, signal processing, thermo fluid sciences, dynamics & design, materials & manufacturing, Intelligent Manufacturing, Robotics, Renewable Energy, Unmanned Systems, Process Automation, Smart Logistics, matter physics, lasers, materials research, magnetism, superconductivity, nuclear physics, and nonlinear and computational physics.
