PHO 140 - Introduction to Advanced Manufacturing and Photonics

3 Credits
Offered Fall
Formerly PHOE 140. This course, which includes both online and in-class components, gives an overview of modern photonic manufacturing processes and covers necessary background material for subsequent courses. The course discusses basic safety and ethics considerations, employment opportunities, communication skills, and a review of basic technical mathematics, problem solving skills, and software (Microsoft Excel and Office). The course includes several visits to MIT for photonic manufacturing “bootcamp” days that involve demonstrations and hand-on experiences introducing a sampling of advanced topics.
