Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics (Co-op)

Engineering physics is at the intersection of electrical engineering, mathematics, applied physics, and the natural sciences, preparing engineering physicists to tackle the big problems at the leading edge of innovation and technology.The University of Alberta's Engineering Physics program starts with a strong foundation in mathematics and physics and builds upon these principles through active research projects in areas such as artificial intelligence, microelectronics, robotics systems, autonomous systems, and quantum computing. These skills, combined with engineering problem-solving expertise, make our graduates highly sought-after in any industry they wish to pursue.This degree can be taken as a Co-op (co-operative education) program. Through the Co-op program, you will have the opportunity to complete paid, supervised work terms throughout your degree. Co-op programs are great way to challenge yourself, gain relevant work experience, and make connections to industry before you graduate.The Faculty of Engineering is widely recognized as one of the top Engineering schools in Canada, with globally renowned professors, state-of-the-art labs and teaching spaces, and highly specialized facilities and areas of research.
