Engineering Physics teaches the application of modern physics concepts towards the engineering of new technological advances.
Engineering Physics is based on a broad scientific basis, but in contrast to the approach of science departments, brings these fundamentals to bear on a wide range of problems of current relevance to engineering and technology. Thus students will acquire a strong background in mathematics and basic science, as well as engineering principles, and will through the undergraduate program be able to ap

🔍What is it Wednesday is back with episode two.
Can you guess what you are looking at this week?
See you again next week for week 3!
Throwback Thursday!
Throwing it back to a 2025 Engineering Physics Capstone: Motus Fitness Tracking!
This capstone project focused on making fitness and rehabilitation more accessible through wearable technology.
Using a modular sensor pack paired with a mobile app this capstone project provides real-time feedback on exercise form, body symmetry, range of motion, set count, and consistency. By delivering data-driven feedback directly to the user’s phone, the system helps users perform workouts and rehabilitation exercises safely and effectively from home.

🔍 What Is It Wednesday with Engineering Physics
Can you identify the mystery objects from just one zoomed in photo?
Take your best guess before you swipe to reveal the answer!
Every Wednesday in August we will be featuring different objects from the Engineering Physics labs at McMaster. Can you guess them all?
What can Engineering Physics teach you? 🤔 Maybe the better question might be: what can’t it?
What separates a good co-op candidate from a great one?
Gabriel Lonuzzo sat down with Michael Jobity, CEO of Jetson Infinity, to discuss what employers are really looking for in co-op students.
If you’re wondering how to stand out, this one’s for you.

Congratulations to Engineering Physics professor Dr. Leyla Soleymani on being named Lead of Engineering Innovation at NexusHealth.
An expert in miniaturized biosensors, Dr. Soleymani’s research bridges engineering and health care, advancing technologies that can improve patient outcomes and bring cutting-edge diagnostics closer to everyday use. From wearable health-monitoring devices to next-generation medical diagnostics, her work demonstrates how engineering can create meaningful impact far beyond the lab.
“My research group has a long track record of partnering with industry, translating discoveries into practical technologies, and launching startup companies,” says Soleymani. “I’m excited to share these experiences with other McMaster innovators and to foster new connections between Health Sciences and Engineering.”
As Lead, Engineering Innovation, Dr. Soleymani will help strengthen collaborations across disciplines, accelerating the development of technologies and health products that improve patient care.
