RF & Optical Engineering Concentration for Computer Engineering & 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.

Concentration Requirements (10 credits)

Note

Students are encouraged to speak with their ECE advisor on any ECE experimental, EPCS, VIP and ECE 49600 courses toward this concentration.  If using EPCS/VIP/ECE 49600, student must have approval of the Associate Head of Undergraduate Programs or Associate Head of Teaching and Learning no later than the end of week two of the semester it is taken.  Additionally, only 3 credits can be used of EPCS/VIP/ECE 49600 toward the Selective Requirement.
