Minor in Electro-Optics and Photonics (EOP)

This minor is open to students with an interest in photonics technology, which includes a wide range of subjects such as optical design, imaging systems, holography, lasers, fiber optics, optoelectronics, etc.. This minor prepares students with the necessary fundamentals to pursue advanced studies or seek a career in this field. A background in electromagnetics and wave propagation is expected in order to take this minor. 

Taking any four courses from the following list will satisfy the Minor in Electro-Optics and Photonics (EOP)
Introduction to Fiber Optics
Semiconductor Characterization and Metrology
Fundamentals of Optical Design
Light and Matter Interaction
Optical Information Processing
Guided-Wave Optics
Introduction to Lasers
Photonic Devices & Systems

 Only one course may double count for both the student's major and minor.

Minor in Semiconductor Manufacturing (SMC)

This minor is open to all engineering students with an interest in semiconductor technology. It provides the essential background in semiconductor processes, including design, fabrication and metrology. The goal is to help prepare students to pursue a career in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Students interested in this minor are encouraged to discuss the most appropriate classes to take for this minor with their department chair or the EOP department chair. Only one course may double count for both the student's major and minor.

Required:
Introduction to Semiconductor Engineering
Select any three additional courses from the following list:
General Physics IV - Modern Physics
Semiconductor Characterization and Metrology
Semiconductor Device Fabrication Lab
Introduction to Solid State
Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing

Only one course may double count for both the student's major and minor.
