Course Description

Electro-optics is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world today. As an Electro-Optics major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Northpointe campus, you’ll prepare for a career in this promising field. In this major, you’ll take courses that deal with the nature and properties of light, lasers, light sources, basic optics, laser safety, optical detectors, fiber optics, high-vacuum technology, fiber-optics telecommunications, thin-film deposition units, and computer interfacing. Electro-optics permits physicians to perform minimally invasive surgery using fiber-optic endoscopes and lasers. It also allows firefighters to see through smoke, helping them to save more lives in today’s deadly fires. Our unique two-year program combines technical training along with courses in electronics, science, computers, and liberal arts. The hands-on approach of this program is emphasized by the fact that all the technical and science courses have three-hour labs. You will have the opportunity to use some of the most modern equipment available today in laser and electro-optics technology.
