Wireless & Optical Engineering Concentration for Electrical Engineering

About the Concentration

The Wireless & Optical Engineering Concentration introduces students to the fundamental concepts and engineering challenges associated with semiconductor manufacturing, renewable energy, military and defense needs.  It prepares students for employment in both private industry and the government sector, fiber optics communications, imaging, display and virtual reality technologies, sensors, laser, and LIDAR, and RF security and wireless systems.  In addition, completing this minor will provide students with a firm foundation to pursue a graduate education focused on fields and/or optics that may include theoretical, simulation, and experimentally-based research projects.
