2. Optical Engineering What is an optical engineer?
Optical engineers aim to design and build devices that make light do something useful.
Examples of optical instruments:
Lenses, microscopes, telescopes, lasers, fiber-optics, satellite communication, optical discs (CDs, DVDs), defense systems, optical sensors

Electrical and Computer Engineering are grouped together because they are very similar degrees, and students in these majors take many of the same classes.
What would you do without your cell phone, computer, TV, radio, mp3 player??
Electrical and computer engineers are largely responsible for these technologies!
Electrical and computer engineers do jobs such as generating and distributing the electricity (POWER), designing and building devices (ELECTRONICS), building software that goes into these devices (SOFTWARE), and communications to these devices (WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS).
There are even more things that electrical and computer engineers can do! They are responsible for many aspects of imaging systems, medical diagnostics, sensors, robotics, microprocessors, automobiles, weather radars, and military systems, just to name a few.
