The field of optics and photonics is rapidly expanding with applications such as autonomous vehicles, machine vision, high efficiency solar cells, bigger and better display screens, etc. Electrical engineering serves as an integral part in all these applications. Therefore, a concentration in optics and photonics in electrical engineering provides a pathway for students to pursue careers in these exciting fields.<br><br>Students in the concentration take the same classes as regular EE students in the first three years. In the senior year they take two required optics classes and two electives. The students are encouraged to do a senior design project in the area of electro-optics.<br>The BSEE in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Optics and Photonics Technology provides students with specialized training in the use of optical and photonics devices and systems for industries including telecommunications, optical materials and sensing, satellite design, and medical imaging.
