该跨学科课程为学生提供类似于杜兰的传统物理学专业的广泛科学和数学背景，并结合了牢固的工程设计基础和将物理原理应用于实际工程问题的基础。该课程的特点是高度重视现代物理学及其在21世纪技术中的应用，包括新材料，量子电子学，纳米制造和设备。我们部门的重点领域包括：材料工程，计算工程和纳米器件。我们的学生将具备很好的条件，可以从事跨越传统工程和科学学科的新兴技术的研究与开发事业，可以攻读科学或工程学的研究生课程，或可以进入法律，管理和医学等专业领域。毕业生将在实验室方法，数据分析和计算方面拥有丰富的经验。课程的核
This interdisciplinary program provides students with a broad science and mathematics background similar to that of Tulane's traditional physics major, combined with a strong grounding in engineering design and the application of physics principles to practical engineering problems. The curriculum is characterized by a strong emphasis on modern physics and its application to 21st century technology, including new materials, quantum electronics, nanofabrication, and devices. Focus areas in our department include: materials engineering, computational engineering, and nano devices. Our students will be well equipped to pursue research and development careers in new and emerging technologies that cut across traditional engineering and science disciplines, to pursue graduate studies in science or engineering, or to enter professional fields including law, management, and medicine. Graduates will have substantial experience with laboratory methods, data analysis, and computation. A centerpiece of the curriculum is the design sequence, consisting of a two-semester Introduction to Design sequence, a summer industry internship, and a two-semester capstone Team Design Project. As an intrinsic part of the curriculum, students develop strong oral and written communication skills, multidisciplinary teamwork skills, experience in public service, and knowledge about the high ethical standards of the engineering profession. The program builds on cross-cutting areas of research strength in the School of Science and Engineering, including: novel 21st century materials, materials for energy, biomolecular materials, macromolecules, quantum mechanics to devices, surfaces, interfaces, and nanostructures, and computation.
