Master of Science in Engineering Physics

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

The Master of Science in Engineering Physics program will provide students the opportunity to collaborate with the foremost experts in the field, many of whom have been awarded research grant funding for important research projects. Whether students have recently earned their undergraduate degrees, or have professional experience, the program is well suited in either situation. Students will graduate from the program with expertise in Applied Physics, as it pertains to Space Science and Engineering Physics.The program specifically emphasizes scientific instrumentation, applied optics, remote sensing, spacecraft subsystems (power, attitude, and thermal control), and a wide variety of topics in space science and engineering.The Engineering Physics program is heavily research oriented, with a majority of the faculty in the Department of Physical Sciences actively involved in scholarly activities in the space sciences and engineering. The research areas include experimental programs with satellite systems, sounding rockets, ground-based remote-sensing experiments, and a parallel program of theoretical studies in the areas of space systems engineering, upper atmospheric physics, space physics, and plasma and magnetospheric physics.
