Where to study it

College (state-funded)1

What you study

Electro-optical engineering combines 2 fields—electronics and optics—and deals with the study, development, and application of phenomena related to light and the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter. Studies cover the operating principles of lasers, optical fibers, and integrated optics components in imaging systems, display systems, optomedical systems, optical applications for signal and image processing, and more. The curriculum includes courses in classical and modern physics, optics, mathematics, computing, and electronics, as well as broad engineering training.
