Engineering is the application of science, mathematics, technology, experience, and the engineering design process to solve problems for the benefit of society and the environment. Physics is the science of matter, motion and energy. The Diploma in Engineering Physics program provides a curriculum that covers aspects of both engineering and physics.
The Diploma in Engineering Physics complements the existing Certificate in Engineering by providing a place at KPU for students wishing to study engineering on a part-time basis, or needing course upgrading. Students who complete the Diploma in Engineering Physics program will be able to continue at KPU to complete the third and fourth years of the Bachelor of Science, Physics for Modern Technology program, or transfer into the second-year of an engineering degree program at institutions such as UBC, UVIC or SFU.
