Engineering Physics

   The importance of physics, with all its breadth and numerous applications, remains unknown in some societies. Industrial advancements owe their progress to the collaboration between physicists and engineers. Engineering physics facilitates this collaboration. The goal of this program is to prepare graduates who, in addition to understanding physics and its advanced topics, are familiar with its practical applications and possess the engineering skills to design industrial projects in modern physics. Graduates are expected to propose ideas for presenting or implementing industrial projects in the following areas:

Engineering physics includes three specializations: solid state, plasma, laser, and optics.

 Required Skills for Applicants:

   Engineering physics is among the demanding fields of study. The first condition for student success is dedicating all effective time to studying and research. A strong foundation in physics and mathematics is essential. Another requirement is creativity and innovation in solving technical and industrial problems using physics results, such as applying solid-state physics findings in electronic and computer component design or using plasma and laser technologies in industry.

 Graduates’ Abilities and Career Opportunities:

   Most precise measurement instruments rely on physical methods or sensors, whose design and manufacture—as well as components used in electronics and computers and the development and distribution of nanomaterial properties within modern physics—are areas where engineering physics graduates offer ideas, designs, and experimentation.

   Graduates of this field can work in electronic component industries, optics and laser industries, computer components in governmental and private institutions such as the Ministry of Energy, Telecommunications, Atomic Energy, Electronics industries, and automotive industries. Additionally, specialties include manufacturing and analyzing optical fibers used in telecommunications, expertise in various plasma and laser applications in industry and medicine, design and manufacturing of optical instruments, designing and building various electric discharge lamps, designing and manufacturing necessary magnets in electromagnetic systems, and automatic switches—all vital to the country’s industry and within the scope of this specialization.
