获得物理学和电气工程双学位的学生将物理专业的研究技能和基础知识与电气工程师的设计和应用技能相结合。本科生会发现，他们完成学位后将有独特的机会与教师紧密合作。物理专业的学生将所学知识运用到该系的一个研究实验室中，从而巩固了他们的本科学习经验。每个学生都将与该教职员工一起参加一个在专业环境中提供经验的项目。物理学是对物质和能量的研究，从最小的尺度（如对基本粒子的研究）到最大的尺度（如对恒星和星系的形成和演化的研究）。从这个意义上讲，物理学是所有其他科学的基础。基本物理学的发展推动了技术的发展，技术帮助物理学家
Students earning a dual degree in physics and electrical engineering combine the research skills and fundamental knowledge of a physics major with the design and application skills of an electrical engineer. Students earning these degrees will be extraordinarily well prepared for jobs in engineering, including research and development jobs. Engineers with a physics background are more flexible than those with only an engineering background, they understand more aspects of a problem, they contribute more broadly, and they can shift from one project to another with a shorter learning curve. Unsurprisingly, this provides great benefits in job security and career advancement.
