1 Physics PHYSICS Dale Van Harlingen 209 Loomis Laboratory of Physics, 0 West Green, Urbana PH: (27) Curriculum in Engineering Physics ( undergraduate/engineer/departments/engin-physics) Fax: (27) undergrad-info@physics.illinois.edu For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics The Engineering Physics curriculum is a flexible program that combines a firm foundation in physics and mathematics with the freedom to choose from a diverse range of technical options. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for a wide variety of technical and professional careers, including graduate study in physics or a closely allied field. Overview of Curricular Requirements The curriculum requires 28 hours for graduation and is organized as shown below. A technical grade point average requirement for graduation applies to students in this curriculum. This rule is summarized at the College of Engineering's Undergraduate Advising Website ( wiki.cites.illinois.edu/wiki/display/ugadvise/technical+gpa +Requirements). Orientation and Professional Development These courses introduce the opportunities and resources your college, department, and curriculum can offer you as you work to achieve your career goals. They also provide the skills to work effectively and successfully in the engineering profession. ENG 00 Engineering Orientation 0 PHYS 0 Physics Careers 0 Total Hours 0 External transfer students take ENG 300 instead. Foundational Mathematics and Science These courses stress the basic mathematical and scientific principles upon which the engineering discipline is based. MATH 22 Calculus I 4 MATH 23 Calculus II 3 MATH 24 Calculus III 4 MATH 285 Intro Differential Equations 2 3 PHYS 2 University Physics: Mechanics 4 PHYS 22 University Physics: Elec & Mag 4 PHYS 23 Univ Physics: Thermal Physics 2 PHYS 24 Univ Physics: Quantum Physics 2 CHEM 02 General Chemistry I 3 CHEM 03 General Chemistry Lab I CS 0 Intro Computing: Engrg & Sci 3 Total Hours 33 2 MATH 220 may be substituted, with four of the five credit hours applying toward the degree. MATH 220 is appropriate for students with no background in calculus. MATH 285 may be replaced by MATH 44 followed by MATH 442. Engineering Physics Technical Core These courses stress fundamental concepts and basic laboratory techniques that comprise the common intellectual understanding of engineering physics. PHYS 225 Relativity & Math Applications 2 PHYS 325 Classical Mechanics I 3 PHYS 435 Electromagnetic Fields I 3 PHYS 48 Quantum Physics I,2 4 or PHYS 485Atomic Phys & Quantum Theory Total Hours 2 2 If PHYS 48 is chosen, take prerequisite MATH 45, which may be used to meet free elective requirements. If PHYS 485 is taken, an additional free elective hour or a surplus flexible physics core course hour offsets the one-hour credit differential. Flexible Physics Core Electives These courses complement the Engineering Physics Technical Core, extending the intellectual understanding of engineering physics. Flexible physics core electives. Choose three courses from a departmentally approved list with at least one being a lab course, PHYS 40, PHYS 402, PHYS 403, PHYS 404, or PHYS 40. The number of hours varies depending upon the courses chosen. Departmentally Approved List Mathematics Elective 9-5 Mathematics elective, chosen from a departmentally 3 approved list of Mathematics Electives. Approved list of Mathematics Electives Technical/Professional Option Electives Students may select from a list of preapproved options or design a custom option, subject to departmental approval. The current preapproved options, requiring 2-22 credit hours of course work, are: Acoustical Physics Astrophysics Atmospheric Science Biophysics Information listed in this catalog is current as of 04/208

2 2 Physics Business Computational Physics Computer Engineering Energy/Sustainability Materials Science Nuclear Physics Optical Physics Law Professional Physics Solid State Electronics Pre-Med Pre-Law The course work is selected in consultation with the student's advisor to address an intellectually coherent body of knowledge. Technical/professional option electives for the option selected, chosen from a departmentally approved list of Technical/Professional Option Electives (or a list designed for a departmentally approved custom option). The number of hours varies depending upon the option chosen. List of Technical/Professional Option Electives 2-27 Liberal Education The liberal education courses ( ugadvise/liberal+education+electives) develop students understanding of human culture and society, build skills of inquiry and critical thinking, and lay a foundation for civic engagement and lifelong learning. Electives from the campus General Education Social and Behavioral Sciences list. Electives from the campus General Education Humanities and the Arts list. Electives either from a list approved by the college, or from the campus General Education lists for Social and Behavioral Sciences or Humanities and the Arts. Total Hours 8 Students must also complete the campus cultural studies requirement by completing (i) one western/comparative culture(s) course, (ii) one nonwestern culture(s) course, and (iii) one U.S. Minority Culture(s) course from the General Education cultural studies lists. Most students select liberal education courses that simultaneously satisfy these cultural studies requirements. Courses from the western, non-western, and U.S. Minority lists that fall into free electives or other categories may also be used satisfy the cultural studies requirements. Composition These courses teach fundamentals of expository writing. RHET 05 Writing and Research 4 Advanced Composition. May be satisfied by completing a course with the Advanced Composition designation in either the social sciences and humanities or the free elective categories. Total Hours 4 Free Electives These unrestricted electives, subject to certain exceptions as noted at the College of Engineering Advising Website ( wiki/display/ugadvise/free+electives), give the student the opportunity to explore any intellectual area of unique interest. This freedom plays a critical role in helping students to define research specialties or to complete minors. Free electives. Additional unrestricted course work, subject to certain exceptions as noted at the College of Engineering Advising Website, so that there are at least 28 credit hours earned toward the degree. The number of hours varies depending upon the total hours earned in both the Flexible Physics Core and the Technical/Professional Option and whether or not MATH 45 and PHYS 48 are taken in place of PHYS 485. Suggested Sequence 3-37 The schedule that follows is illustrative, showing the typical sequence in which courses would be taken by a student with no college course credit already earned and who intends to graduate in four years. Each individual's case may vary, but the position of required named courses is generally indicative of the order in which they should be taken.
