Graduates of our program will have a positive impact on their workplace through multidisciplinary collaboration, teamwork and leadership.

There has never been an instance where I wasn’t comfortable enough to approach my professors with a situation. From my experiences, everyone is very supportive and determined to help their students find the path that suits their needs.

The knowledge and skills gained in the optical engineering concentration enables you to pursue careers in the many fields that are heavily reliant on optical technology including aerospace, telecommunications, manufacturing, renewable energy, medicine, and defense, as well as research, entrepreneurship, and public service. Career opportunities as an optical engineer include:

Professor Martini and Professor Search have been instrumental in starting this program and are two of the best professors I’ve ever had. One specific real-world experience that I gained from the program was learning how to evaluate optical systems.

I originally picked Stevens for the fact that it was close to home and I really liked the small school environment where everyone was also into a science and technology. I think that Stevens is an ideal place to learn optics since many of the professors in the physics department concentrate in either quantum level physics or optics.

Graduates of our program will be recognized by their peers as innovators and leaders in their field by leveraging their strong technical basis to continuously increase their skills and knowledge in their area of expertise.

An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

At Stevens, you’ll learn to think like an engineer. Our design-focused curriculum features a hands-on course every semester that will instill you with broad, foundational knowledge, the complete fundamentals of engineering, and entrepreneurial thinking. Learn more about what makes an engineering education from Stevens a unique experience:

Optics is used in everyday technologies, from the optical fibers that carry all of the information of the internet to the displays, cameras, and optical sensors in modern smartphones, robots, and self-driving vehicles making optical engineering a growing field.

An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

Faculty in the Department of Physics at Stevens have a strong background in optics. As a student, you will learn optical engineering from globally renowned experts – including two fellows of the Optical Society of America and an editor of Optics Letters – and gain hands-on experience in the department’s three state-of-the-art optics teaching labs.
