Applied Physics: Engineering Focus
Major in
Applied Physics: Engineering Focus
Linfield University is no longer enrolling students in this program. You might instead consider our applied physics major.
Applied physics merges a strong grounding in science with practical hands-on engineering training, giving you the skills to tackle important problems in many fields of study. The concentration in engineering is an option within the applied physics major to further prepare you for a future engineering career.
As an applied physics major with an engineering focus at Linfield
you might take:
Learn first-order equations, second-order linear equations and power series methods, and their applications to mechanics and physics. (MATH 210)
