Applied Physics - Electronic Devices and Materials.

Queen’s University collaborative graduate programs in engineering and applied physics. Research is centred around themes that use basic science and physics to improve quality of life and to solve current or future problems facing people both in Canada and worldwide.

Applied Physics at Harvard School of Engineering is at the intersection of physics and engineering. Applied physicists explore the phenomena that become the foundation of quantum and photonic devices and novel materials. They also study the fundamentals of complex systems, including living organisms.

The Applied Physics Graduate Program is a hub for collaboration between 6 different departments. The program is designed to prepare graduates for professional careers in science and technology, either in academics or in industry and allow students to complete their PhD studies in five years.

Of the remaining six courses, four or more must be materials and condensed matter courses selected from the Applied Physics (615.xxx), Electrical and Computer Engineering (525.xxx), and Materials Science and Engineering (515.xxx) programs. All course selections are subject to advisor approval. Concentrations are noted on the student’s transcript.

The applicant for the graduate specialty must be admitted to one of the participating programs: applied physics and applied mathematics, or electrical engineering. A strong undergraduate background in physics or chemistry and in mathematics is important.

Caltech's Applied Physics program was founded by faculty who could foresee research subjects not represented in traditional engineering and physics programs. Founded in 1970, it was among the very first Applied Physics programs in the country and has had a profound influence on science and technology, including fiber optic communications.

Our Engineering for Professionals part-time degree program offers one of the few available advanced degree programs in Applied Physics. The program prepares professionals for careers in technology development and research, or for advanced graduate study.

The Master of Science program in Applied Physics at NYU Tandon School of Engineering is an unparalleled advantage for professionals seeking to advance in today’s leading physics positions. As technology continues to extend human life and harness new energy sources, those with extensive experience in applied physics are in high demand.

Students accepted into the Applied Physics PhD program must pass a Qualifying (Comprehensive) Examination, which is composed of a physics component and an application component. The physics component of the Qualifying Examination will be the same as for students in the Physics PhD program, except Applied Physics PhD students will select, in advance, three out of the four areas to take.

Melany Hunt, Dotty and Dick Hayman Professor of Mechanical Engineering, has won the Feynman Prize for Excellence in Teaching. The prize was established in 1993, and is awarded annually to a professor who demonstrates unusual talent, creativity, innovation, and an ability to create an inclusive learning environment in undergraduate and graduate.

The Applied Physics Graduate Program (APP) includes faculty from the departments of electrical and computer engineering, physics and astronomy, bioengineering, chemistry, chemical and biomolecular engineering, materials science and nanoengineering, and statistics.

Electrical and electronic Engineering The ability to dream, the power to create. The Master’s program in electrical and electronic Engineering responds to the growing needs of interconnected sectors of science and technology and will educate highly competitive researchers and professionals in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering.
