The Applied Physics program focuses on combining the fundamental theoretical principles of physics, along with practical hands-on experimental skills to solve problems in science, engineering, and industry. The program covers areas in Electronics, Material Science, Optics, and Radiation. 

The program has in place five Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) which students are expected to attain with 2 – 3 years of employment. The PEOs are: 

1)  Solve problems related to the workplace through the application of their technical or scientific competence in Applied Physics.

2)  Prepare and operate equipment, devices, and experiments in a laboratory setting to perform the required tasks set out by professional practice.

3)  Effectively complete tasks as an individual or as a team member in professional practice.

5)  Communicate effectively in oral form to present findings.

For students to attain the PEOs there are five Student Outcomes (SOs) which students are expected to acquire at the time of graduation that demonstrates their skills, knowledge, and behaviors. These SOs are:

1)  An ability to identify, formulate, and solve broadly defined technical or scientific problems by applying knowledge of mathematics and science and/or technical topics to areas relevant to the discipline.

2)  An ability to conduct experiments or test theories, as well as to analyze and interpret data.

3)  An ability to function on teams.

4)  An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

5)  An ability to communicate effectively.
