Laser Electro-Optics Technology is one of the more rapidly growing technical fields in America today. The trained technician can expect favorable job opportunities, promotion potential and rapid advancement. The LEOT certificate of completion is designed to give students the basic understanding of laser, optics, and electronics necessary to assemble, test and perform diagnostics on today’s modern laser and electro-optic systems. Students can complete the program in one year beginning in the fall semester. Upon completion of the certificate program, student may seek entry-level employment in the laser electro-optics technology field or apply the majority of their coursework toward the Laser Electro-Optics Technology Associate Degree.
Minimum Grade Requirement: Students must receive a grade of “D” or better. A QPA of 2.0 must be achieved for graduation.
Upon the successful completion of requirements for this program, a Certificate of Completion in Laser Electro-Optics Technology will be awarded.
