Sample Engineering Physics Curriculum Beginning Freshman Year

This document outlines a sample engineering physics curriculum for a four-year undergraduate program. It lists the courses that would be taken each semester starting in freshman year through senior year. The core courses cover introductory physics, calculus, chemistry and other foundational subjects. Electives allow students to specialize in areas like mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering or electrical engineering by taking a set of designated courses in those concentrations. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in both engineering and physics principles.
