Quinsigamond Community College

The Photonics Option in Electronics Engineering Technology prepares students for careers as photonics technicians and/or electronics technicians with photonics experience. Photonics technicians build, test, troubleshoot and maintain systems involving lasers, fiber optics and other electro-optical components. This is an exciting, dynamic career field that is projected to grow steadily as new Photonics applications are developed to support manufacturing, telecommunications, medical devices and systems, security systems, clean energy systems, research, etc. Students also build a foundation of knowledge that forms the basis for further study in electronics and photonics.
