We offered one of the nation's first Optical Engineering degrees, meaning we were training optical engineers before anyone knew we needed them!
As a major in physics, engineering physics or optical engineering, you'll work in our state-of-the-art MiNDS lab starting Year One. You'll also get hands-on experience in a variety of specialized fields, including laser systems, fiber optics, spy satellite technology, acoustics, quantum, and optical computing.
You'll also have access to our Oakley Observatory -- one of the finest undergrad observatories in the country.
Engineering physics at Rose-Hulman provides students with a unique opportunity to learn the foundation concepts of physics, apply them to design, and make a concentrated study in semiconductors, micro- and nano-technology. (We work in the clean room—aka the MiNDS lab- a lot)
