Multi-Disciplinary
Optical Science and Engineering Program
at NJIT
What is the OPSE Program?
The OPSE program is a collection of multi-disciplinary applied optical sciences and engineering courses are being offered at NJIT which (1) provide a unified, multi-departmental optical science/ engineering curriculum and (2) emphasize optics courses which will provide laboratory and classroom training to undergraduate and graduate students in emerging areas of industrial and technological importance. The program focuses on the collective strengths of the Applied Physics Degree Program (offered through the Physics Department) and the Engineering college : Environmental monitoring and detection of pollutants,
biophotonics, industrial process monitoring, optoelectronics, and ultrafast optics and optoelectronics.
The OPSE Program enjoys the support from the following corporation:
Edmund Optics
Curriculum Development
The curriculum development focuses on the theme of teaching optical science and
engineering as an enabling technology. Students will learn not only the fundamental
principles of optical science and engineering, but also technologically relevant
applications of those principles to biomedical engineering and medicine, optoelectronics, environmental monitoring, industrial
process monitoring and position control, and ultrafast optical and optoelectronic
phenomena. The following sequence of courses are offered:
- Optical Science and Engineering 301 - Introduction to Optics Principles
- Optical Science and Engineering 310 - Virtual Instrumentation (Co-listed as IT 320)
- Optical Science and Engineering 402 - Applications (co-listed as CHE 402)
- Optical Science
and Engineering 410 - Biophotonics
- Optical Science and Engineering 601 - Advanced Topics
- Phys 418 - Optical Imaging
Degree Programs
There are a variety of ways in which you can pursue a track in the optical sciences.
Those listed below are the current options:
-
B.S. Applied Physics
concentrating in Optics
- Minor in Applied Physics (focusing on Optical Science and Engineering)
- Dual Major programs (Applied Physics/ Math or Applied Physics/ Computer Science) allows students to take OPSE courses as electives.
Please consult the respective department representative for further information.
