The Program B.Tech.

(Engineering Physics) was introduced in 2009-10 and is designed for students who have an interest in and an aptitude for both engineering and physics ranging from system oriented thinking to problem solving skills. B.Tech. (Engg. Physics) offers a multidisciplinary graduate program spanning engineering and physics in which fundamental physical principles are used to address research issues of technological importance at the frontiers of engineering and science that govern the modern day technology. Engineering Physics couples both the pure sciences and engineering, making it possible for students to have a wide interest in the application of modern physics to technology and new product development, without losing close interaction with Core Subjects. In Europe and USA, Engineering Physics UG and PG courses are available since long. Engineering Physics at reputed US universities such as Stanford, Princeton, UC Berkeley and Cal Tech etc. is one of the most selective and advanced engineering programs offered and is one of the most

sought after academic program among the generations of young and bright students. In India, B.Tech Programme in Engineering Physics is currently available at four IITs Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Guwahati, ITBHU and at NIT-Calicut. The program provides students with a firm foundation in physics and mathematics, together with engineering design and problem-solving skills where creativity and ingenuity knows no bound. This background prepares students to tackle complex problems in multidisciplinary areas that are at the forefront of technology in 21st century, such as solid state devices, quantum optics and photonics, mobile and satellite communication, material science, nanotechnology and other engineering fields like Robotics and Intelligent systems that require a very solid background in physics. Many employers value this unique problem solving approach of Engineering Physicists, especially in industrial research and development areas. Our students will be well equipped to pursue careers in research and development as well as emerging technologies that cut across traditional engineering and science disciplines, or to enter professional fields. 2

What is Engineering Physics???


Engineering physics blends courses from engineering, physics and mathematics to build an understanding of how these interact and support each other. It enhances the knowledge of the physical environment while discovering how physics is applied to problem-solving in our rapidly changing high-tech world. The engineering physics curriculum is designed to fulfill the educational requirements for professional work in various fields of applied sciences which are based upon a thorough knowledge of physics and foundation of basic scientific principles, as well as the theoretical knowledge and skills required for specific engineering applications. Engineering physicists perform research and development in various industries pertaining to fields of telecommunications, microelectronics, micro devices, lasers, nanotechnology and optoelectronics; and is an important career option. An engineering physics graduate amalgamates engineering with the theoretical concepts and hence, is well equipped for a range of challenging job opportunities, such as scientific positions as Research and Development (R&D) Engineer at high-end technology and knowledge based industries. Engineering Physics graduate of DTU will be a highly trained professional for national R&D laboratories and universities, where creativity and intellect are the top priority. Engineering Physics graduates also have wide options of entering into higher degree programs and adopt research as a career and will pave the path of futuristic technologies in and around the established contemporary disciplines:
