Engineering physics

Engineering physics (EP) is the field of study combining pure science disciplines (such as physics, mathematics, chemistry) and engineering disciplines (computer, nuclear, electrical, aerospace, medical, materials, mechanical, etc.). In many languages, the term technical physics is also used. It has been used since 1861, after being introduced by the German physics teacher in his publications.

Instead, engineering science or engineering physics is meant to provide a more thorough grounding in applied physics for a selected specialty such as optics, quantum physics, materials science, applied mechanics, electronics, nanotechnology, microfabrication, microelectronics, computing, photonics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, nuclear engineering, biophysics, control theory, aerodynamics, energy, solid-state physics, etc. It is the discipline devoted to creating and optimizing engineering solutions through enhanced understanding and integrated application of mathematical, scientific, statistical, and engineering principles. The discipline is also meant for cross-functionality and bridges the gap between theoretical science and practical engineering with emphasis in research and development, design, and analysis. ==See also== Applied physics Engineering List of engineering branches Index of engineering science and mechanics articles ==Notes and references== ==External links== "Engineering Physics at Xavier" "The Engineering Physicist Profession" "Engineering Physicist Professional Profile" Society of Engineering Science Inc. ja:基礎工学#『基礎的な工学』としての基礎工学
