LTU’s engineering physics program provides an interdisciplinary foundation to prepare graduates for in-demand careers in industry and research. Through hands-on learning, state-of-the-art laboratory experiences, computational physics projects, and opportunities to engage in groundbreaking research and applied physics endeavors, students develop the critical thinking, technical proficiency, and analytical skills that employers need. With a curriculum designed to combine scientific discovery with engineering solutions, graduates of this program are ready to take on complex challenges in fields such as renewable energy, aerospace, nanotechnology, and beyond.

» Why LTU?

• Dedicated faculty with extensive research experience who are ready to mentor students through professional networking, internships, and career placement assistance.
• An emphasis on the “hands-on” application of physics. To learn experimentation, our students have built their own instruments to levitate objects with sound, measured the speed of a shockwave of an explosion, visualized turbulent air currents, and more.
• The opportunity for paid research assistantships supported by the National Science Foundation, which offer the possibility of being published in professional journals and travel to regional and national conferences.
• The opportunity to join the Society of Physics Students, an award-winning student organization that offers academic, professional, and social activities.
