ENGINEERING PHYSICS
+ Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology
+ Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in engineering physics
The low student-to-faculty ratio allows our world-class faculty to inspire our
students, feed their curiosity, awaken their minds and instill in them the joy of
lifelong learning.
Engineering physics is an academic program accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of ABET. This academic program prepares students
for careers in technology research and development that requires more physics
than found in traditional engineering programs along with enhanced analytical,
computational and laboratory skills.
The program is designed for those students who have a strong interest in
physics combined with the desire to acquire the skills and perspective of the
engineering realm. A goal of the program is to prepare students to apply the
principles and problem-solving approaches of physics to the solution of
engineering problems at the forefront of science and technology.
This program is ideally suited for those students who have an interest in and
aptitude for both physics and engineering. Students completing this program
combine the physics education of our traditional B.S. degree with a
concentration in one of the engineering areas offered at Parks College.
These engineering concentration areas include:
+ Aerospace
+ Biomedical
+ Computer
+ Electrical
+ Interdisciplinary
+ Mechanical
The curriculum satisfies the requirements for a minor in engineering
mathematics and has essentially the same physics content as our traditional
B.S. degree.
Students may select a concentration in aerospace, biomedical, computer,
electrical or mechanical engineering, or choose the interdisciplinary option,
which gives students the opportunity to explore various engineering disciplines
while developing a firm foundation in chemistry, biology and mathematics as
well as in physics and engineering. Each student completes a senior design
project, typically as a member of a multidisciplinary team.

There are two principal ways to help finance a Saint Louis University education:
+ Scholarships: awarded based on academic achievement,
service, leadership and financial need.
+ Financial Aid: provided in the form of grants and loans, some
of which require repayment.
For priority consideration for merit-based scholarships, applicants should apply
for admission by Dec. 1 and complete a Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) by Oct. 1.
For information on other scholarships and financial aid, visit the student
financial services office online at finaid.slu.edu.
+ Students completing this program combine the physics education of our
traditional bachelors’ degree with a concentration in one of the engineering
areas offered at SLU.
+ An interdisciplinary option gives students the opportunity to explore
various engineering fields before choosing a focus area.
+ The curriculum satisfies the requirements for a minor in engineering
mathematics.
Benefits of the engineering physics program also include several internship and
career opportunities. Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology
offers comprehensive assistance throughout the internship and cooperative
education process. Our online job and internship database contains
approximately 380 employers and more than 500 contacts within industries that
employ Parks College students.
Students will find individual attention with the help of two career services
professionals (a part-time career counselor and a full-time internship and
cooperative education coordinator), guidance throughout the process from
resume writing to accepting the offer, 24-hour access to internship and
cooperative education opportunity listings, academic assistance and personal
support during the experience.
