*Opto-Electronics is an option in cooperation with the Department of Physics, and may be pursued by students enrolled in the MS Eng in EE program. This option contains required and recommended courses designed to provide a fundamental background in optical devices and systems, as well as in optical physics and in the electro-optical properties of materials.
In addition to the required three core courses, students pursuing this option must take Electro-Optics and Integrated Optics and two other courses from the above list.
