Engineering in Physics ?

While surfing the websites of many collleges i found an engineering stream i.e. "ENGINEERING IN PHYSICS" . Someone please let me know more about this stream. WHat is the area of specialisation and in which field one is able to get a job after it?

Engineering Physics perhaps?

Engineering is afterall applied physics. In general, engineering physics is more of a blend of physics, and particularly the theoretical side, behind the engineering.

This is a reasonable discussion - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_physics

Some examples of programs:
http://courses.illinois.edu/cis/2010/fall/programs/undergrad/engin/engin_physics.html

http://www.engr.wisc.edu/ep/engrphys/curriculum/curriculum.pdf

http://www.princeton.edu/pub/ua/epp/

I would recommend contacting the particular university of interest concerning EP. One may use a search engine to determine if the school has such a program. Of course, one may major in physics or a particular engineering discipline and take courses in the other program - i.e., engineering with physics courses, or physics with engineering courses.
