Physics is everywhere around us. Engineering Physics courses teach students how to combine the principles of physics with engineering concepts.

All the activities in our daily life include the application of physics. For example, ironing clothes, cooking, washing, replying to a telephone call, and listening to the radio, are some of the activities where we practice the principles of physics.  When you look at the light bulb above you, you remember Thomas Alva Edison. When the telephone bell rings, you remember Alexander Graham Bell. Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. When you see the blue sky, you think of Sir C.V. Raman. Physics is involved in running automobiles and trains, moving objects, flying airplanes, and kites, orbiting satellites, zooming jet planes, etc. Physics has applications in the construction of bridges, buildings, roads, houses, ships, and boats. Knowledge of physics will help the common people to escalate, realize and relate better to the environment. The laws of physics explicate the principle behind the existence of thunder and lightning or a rainbow in the sky. Several modern services like washing machines, refrigerators, and floor polishers make use of the principles of physics. Physics is also applied in the systems of communication, modern means of transportation, and advancement in medicine, industry, and agriculture. So, it is a fact that all the comforts which make the life of common people more enjoyable and easy are based on solid principles of physics and their commercial applications.

An engineer might design the product itself, or just figure out a way to build it. But either way, success is impossible without an understanding of the physics behind each of them. Thus, it is factual that Physics has a substantial role in Engineering.
