The program is designed to expose students to four major areas: laser systems, electronics, optics and electro-optics. Students study the laser both as an instrument and as an integral part of a system designed for industrial and scientific applications. The program includes topics such as laser alignment, safety and the use of lasers in electronics production, testing and maintenance. Through the program, students acquire a good working knowledge of light, optical principles, and optical components and systems. In addition, students receive in-depth classroom preparation in the scientific principles of laser and fiber optics to incorporate their skills and knowledge into developing electro-optical techniques and systems. The post degree certificate is designed for those who already possess the core Electronics Technology associate’s degree or a degree in a related technical field from an accredited college or university.
Special Requirements
Students must have completed the core Electronics Technology certificate or a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university to pursue the Certificate of Completion in Photonics Technology.
