This program is designed to provide a student who has a background in electrical engineering with the knowledge of optics and laser technology necessary for work in the field of electro-optics. The program is under the joint supervision of the Departments of Engineering Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Program:
The program is normally six quarters in length for a full-time Air Force student. Five quarters are devoted to course work and one quarter to thesis research. The research is conducted either at AFIT or under a cooperative research program at one of the Air Force laboratories. The course work in this program is in the areas of electrical engineering, optical laser physics, photonics and electro-optical devices. It emphasizes the application of fundamental knowledge in the design, development, test and evaluation of Air Force systems.
Each student must complete an independent study/thesis in an area related to electro‑optics selected from topics proposed by the faculty and solicited from Air Force research and development organizations. This independent study may be done under the direction of either the Department of Engineering Physics or the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Flexibility in the program is maintained in order to take full advantage of the varied backgrounds and abilities of individual students.
The electro-optic program is ABET accredited and satisfies the Air Force education code 4IJY. To meet the ABET criteria, students must satisfy specific ABET requirements at the advanced level. This is usually possible only for a graduate of an ABET accredited (undergraduate) engineering program. Students satisfying the ABET criteria are awarded the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, those not satisfying these criteria are awarded the degree of Master of Science.
