Engineering & Physics Visit Day
Engineering & Physics Visit Day
Monday, March 23, 2026 at 9:00 AM
Designed for students who are curious about how the world works and eager to solve real-world problems through innovation and discovery. Physics and engineering explore the principles that govern motion, energy, materials and technology while preparing students to design, build and improve the systems that shape our everyday lives.
Your visit will include a campus tour, a class visit, a faculty and/or department Q&A and lunch in the dining hall where you can connect with current students and imagine what your future in physics or engineering could look like.
Visit events will take place from 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM
探花社区 physics and engineering physics points of distinction
Both the physics and engineering physics programs at 探花社区 are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills that employers and grad schools desire.
- Business informed. 探花社区 faculty consult with local businesses to ensure the curriculum and program experiences align with industry needs.
- Academic record of success. Since 1979, all physics students who have been accepted to graduate school have received a full scholarship and stipend to attend.
- Nationally recognized. Since 1986, the department has received continuous research grants from the National Science Foundation. Additional funding has come from NASA and Fortune 500 company Corning, Inc.
- Research-centric. 探花社区 is one of only a few small schools in the country to serve as a host site and member of the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program.
- Elite technology. Peterson Hall of Science houses over $3 million in advanced physics technology for your use.
- Versatile approach. Engineering physics focuses on design, problem solving and the science behind key engineering principles, creating a pathway to your engineering field of choice.
- Hands-on haven. The 探花社区 campus is surrounded by opportunities, from aerospace to agriculture, to gain real experience and build a professional network before graduation.
