Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Science - Engineering Physics (Honours)

Simon Fraser University

This program leads to a bachelor of applied science (honours) degree with an engineering physics option.Engineering science students develop skills in systems design with a high level of scientific knowledge. This demanding program is aimed at the superior student. The program produces well educated, innovative engineer/scientists with entrepreneurial skills and attitudes who are oriented to new technologies. Program entry is competitive.Students undertake a basic core of pure, applied and engineering sciences followed by studies in a specialized option. The honours BASc program may be completed in a total of nine academic terms plus a minimum of three co-op terms.ENSC courses emphasize learning, conceptualization, design and analysis. Built into the program are courses on social impacts of technology, finance, management, design methods and entrepreneurship intended to complement scientific studies. A special, integrated communications course completed throughout the program ensures that all graduates have the communication skills necessary to be effective engineers.The engineering physics option prepares for work in engineering and, applied sciences and is strongly dependent on a sound knowledge of physics and engineering fundamentals.
