It is assumed that students will take the normal sequence for their department in the first two years and will not commit to entering this certificate program until the end of their sophomore year. The following are typical course sequences which students might follow. Humanities electives and seminar courses are taken in addition to the courses listed here.
B.S. in Electrical Engineering:
Semester 1: Phys 174, Math 220, Chem 960, Eng 011
Semester 2: Phys 175, Math 230, Chem 970, Eng 012
Semester 3: Math 240, EE 031, EE 132
Semester 4: Math 250, EE 041, EE 0501, EE 142, EE 1257
Semester 5: Photonics 0, EE 1552, EE 1247, EE 1201, EE 1259, Phys 1361
Semester 6: Photonics 0, EE 1563, EE 1212, EE 1232, EE 1266, Eng 0020
Semester 7: Photonics 1, Chem 1250 (or Telecomm 2222 in previous summer)
Semester 8: Photonics 2, Photonics lab, Chem 1410
Photonics 1 and 2 will be counted as EE electives for Electrical Engineering majors. Chemistry 1250, 1410, Physics 1361, and Telecomm 2222 count as Technical electives for Electrical Engineering majors.
B.S in Physics:
Semester 1: Phys 174, Math 220, Chem 110
Semester 2: Phys 175, Math 230, Chem 120
Semester 3: Phys 219, Math 240, Phys 480
Semester 4: Math 250, Phys 481, Phys 525
Semester 5: Photonics 0, Phys 1351, Phys 1361, EE 1247
Semester 6: Photonics 0, EE 1232, Phys 1331, Chem 1410
Semester 7: Photonics 1, Phys 1321, Chem 1250 (or Telecomm 2222 in previous summer)
Semester 8: Photonics
2, Photonics lab,
Phys 1426,
Phys 1341
B.S. in Chemistry: (Photonics Option with Photonics Certificate and ACS certification)
Semester 1: Phys 174, Math 220, Chem 110
Semester 2: Phys 175, Math 230, Chem 120
Semester 3: Phys 219, Math 240, Chem 310/330
Semester 4: Math 250, Chem 250/260, Chem 320/340
Semester 5: Photonics 0, Phys 1361, EE 1247, Chem 1250/1255
Semester 6: Photonics 0, EE 1232, Chem 1410
Semester 7: Photonics 1, Chem 1420, Chem 1430, Phys 1351 (or Telecomm 2222 in previous summer)
Semester 8: Photonics 2, Photonics lab, Chem 1130
In this case, the student is
assumed to start taking physics courses in the freshman year. Chemistry
majors can also take the Photonics Option alone, without getting the
Certificate. The following is a typical course sequence for the
non-certificate Photonics Option:
B.S. in Chemistry: (Photonics Option with ACS certification, no Photonics Certificate)
Semester 1: Math 220, Chem 110
Semester 2: Math 230, Chem 120
Semester 3: Phys 174, Math 240, Chem 310/330
Semester 4: Phys 175, Phys 219, Chem 320/340
Semester 5: Phys 1361, Chem 250/260, Chem 1410
Semester 6: EE 1232, Chem 1250/1255, Chem 1430, Chem 1700
Semester 7: Photonics 1, Chem 1130, Chem 1420,
Semester 8: Photonics 2, Chem 1140, Chem 1440
