Computational Engineering Undergraduate Certificate
Engineering Physics majors have the opportunity to focus their elective coursework in a specific concentration area and earn a certificate if they are interested in a more focused field of study. The Computational Engineering Certificate lets students channel that flexibility toward computation specifically, drawing on courses across physics, computer science, and engineering.

Curriculum Requirements
Engineering Physics majors have the opportunity to focus their elective coursework in a specific concentration area and earn a certificate if they are interested in a more focused field of study. Successful completion of an ENGP certificate requires a student to choose any four out of the seven total electives (i.e., out of the four engineering electives, one contemporary physics elective, one classical physics elective, and one broader technical elective) from within a particular concentration area.
FAQs
The certificate lets Engineering Physics majors concentrate their required elective coursework in a focused area of study, choosing four of their seven total electives from within that concentration. For students drawn to computation, it formally recognizes depth in areas like machine learning, data science, or scientific computing built directly into their existing degree plan.
Please Note: Many intermediate and advanced courses in the program have prerequisites listed under the Basic Science and Mathematics categories in the curriculum; several of the allowed electives may have additional prerequisites. Many of the required and elective courses may not be offered every year. Students must work closely with a faculty advsior to develop an individualized schedule of courses that fits their needs and interests, while satisfying all of the above requirements along with the university’s core requirements for graduation.. For students pursuing a certificate, the certificate advisor (see above) is also your primary ENGP major advisor. For students who are not pursuing a certificate or have not yet declared a certificate, Prof. Lev Kaplan serves as the primary ENGP major advisor.
