工程物理学是应用科学的一个分支，既强调工程又强调物理。它是传统上比较专业的本科工程课程的一个具有挑战性的通用替代方法，它为专业发展提供了灵活的选择。工程物理课程旨在为基础科学原理以及特定工程应用所需的理论知识和技能提供坚实的基础。该课程同样适合打算从事工业研发工作的学生，以及准备在各种科学和技术领域进行研究生学习的学生。
Engineering physics is a branch of applied science that emphasizes both engineering and physics. It is a challenging general alternative to the traditionally more specialized undergraduate engineering curricula, offering flexible options for professional growth. The engineering physics curriculum is designed to provide a firm foundation of basic scientific principles, as well as the theoretical knowledge and skills required for specific engineering applications. The curriculum is equally suitable for students intending to pursue careers in industrial research and development, and for those preparing for graduate studies in a variety of scientific and technical areas.
