Teehe Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Department of Engineering Physics is an applied science department offering courses, degrees, and research in a wide range of areas in applied physical science. Courses are offered in the core areas of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, electromagnetics, and meteorology and in the specialization areas of optics, nonlinear optics, image processing, remote sensors, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, solid state device physics, photonics, nuclear engineering, and plasma physics. Degrees offered include Applied Physics, Nuclear Engineering, Electro-Optics (in conjunction with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department), Materials Science and Meteorology.

ENP LabThe department offers courses of study leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees for qualified individuals in all areas except meteorology, where only Master of Science degrees are offered. Though the majority of the AFIT student body consists of officers from the armed forces of the US and allied nations, AFIT courses and degrees are available to the civilian community through the Dayton Area Graduate Studies Institute (DAGSI).

The department consists of 21 faculty , a laboratory technician staff, and a clerical staff. Major areas of expertise and research among the faculty include:

  1. remote sensing, image science, and signal processing;
  2. lasers, nonlinear optics, and photonics;
  3. optical, atomic, and molecular physics;
  4. semiconductor materials and device characterization;
  5. computational plasma physics;
  6. nuclear technology.

A wide range of laboratory and computer facilities are available to support teaching and research. The faculty and the laboratory facilitates provide a valuable research asset to the Air Force, bringing over one million dollars in research grants per year which is used entirely for research equipment and support, resulting in over 30 archival journal articles per year and over 40 presentations per year.
