The BS-Physics with specialization in Materials Science is an 11-trimester undergraduate program in physics with emphasis on the applications of physics to materials science. It aims to produce graduates who have concrete understanding of the fundamental physical principles and techniques, a capacity for quantitative and technical analysis, and the ability to apply their knowledge and skills in physics to the study of materials.
Being primarily a physics program, it does not attempt to cut across the whole breadth of the multidisciplinary area of materials science. Rather, it concentrates on the interface of physics with materials science, and seeks to produce practical physicists who can readily work with the semiconductor industry and other industries of materials. It is further hoped that the foundational skills and knowledge in physics will contribute to the research and development of new materials useful to the continuing upliftment of humankind.
