The program is designed to ensure that students take a significant portion of the usual curriculum in Engineering and Physics, obtain substantial laboratory experience, and take several upper-level elective courses, focusing on applied science. Students may take either the standard Physics or Engineering programs during their first and second years and then switch to this combined program. The Sc.B. degree program in Engineering and Physics is not accredited by ABET and is mostly intended to prepare students for graduate study in applied science and engineering. Since the requirements include both quantum mechanics with the physics concentrators and analog electronics with EE concentrators, as well as more mathematics than either Physics or Engineering, it is one of the more demanding programs at Brown.
The following standard program assumes that a student begins mathematics courses at Brown with [MATH 0100](https://bulletin.brown.edu/search/?P=MATH%200100 "MATH 0100") or [MATH 0190](https://bulletin.brown.edu/search/?P=MATH%200190 "MATH 0190"). Students who begin in [MATH 0200](https://bulletin.brown.edu/search/?P=MATH%200200 "MATH 0200") can substitute an additional science, engineering or higher-level mathematics course for the [MATH 0190](https://bulletin.brown.edu/search/?P=MATH%200190 "MATH 0190") requirement. To accommodate the diverse preparation of individual students, variations of the following sequences and their prerequisites are possible with permission of the appropriate concentration advisor and the instructors involved. We recommend that each student’s degree program be submitted for prior approval (typically in semester four) and scrutinized for compliance (in semester seven) by one faculty member from the Department of Physics and one faculty member from the School of Engineering.
