Career Information:
An area of concentration in engineering physics combines physics (why things work) with engineering (how to make things work). It will provide students with a strong physics background while preparing them for work or an advanced degree in engineering. Engineering physics students may also find careers in product development, education, research, mining, technical writing, consulting, utilities, manufacturing, government laboratories, and quality control.

For more career information, check out U.S. Department of Labor - Engineers or UNO Career Center.
