Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Concentration Requirements

The B.S. in Engineering Physics is a degree conferred by the College of Engineering and is managed by the Department of Physics.

    **If you are pursuing the ECE concentration, it is recommended you take Math 2415 and 2568 instead of 2174 since they are prerequisites to several ECE courses.

College requirements: 32 semester hours

  • 24 semester hours of General Education (GE) courses.
  • Engineering 1100 (Engineering Survey)
  • One of the following introductory engineering and programming sequences
    • Engineering 1181-1182 plus a programming course (Astronomy 1221, CSE 1222, CSE 1223, CSE 1224, or Engr 1221). Note that CSE 1222 should be chosen by students pursuing the CSE or ECE specializations.
    • Engineering 1281H-1282H

Targeted Electives
At least 9 semester hours of Targeted Electives are required.  These electives can be any additional math, physics, or engineering course.  These electives must be 2000 level or above and they cannot be double counted toward any other requirement.  These courses must be Physics, Math, or Engineering courses.  Astronomy and Statistics courses, though related, cannot count.

Additional information about this elective category can be found on the engineering physics targeted electives page.

Engineering Technical Electives: 27 semester hours
These are the courses you'll take toward your engineering specialization within Engineering Physics.  At least 27 hours of Engineering Technical Electives are required, such that they form a coherent sequence involving both laboratory and design experience in a specific engineering specialization. The list of courses required for each specialization are given in the tables below.

Specialization Options

As mentioned above, the technical electives in Engineering Physics are grouped in a coherent sequence of 8 specializations, according to the particular sub-field. The specializations are:

  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Computer Science and Engineering
  • Electrical and Computer Engineering
  • Industrial Systems Engineering
  • Materials Science and Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Nuclear Engineering

The below sections can be expanded to view the requirements for each engineering specialization.
