Precision Machining and Optics Manufacturing
Our program in precision machining and optics manufacturing grew from the former Â鶹´«Ã½ Center for Optics Manufacturing. Many faculty members retain strong ties with local companies that were spun-off or strengthened by research done by members of this center.
Facilities include state-of-the-art optical metrology and fabrication equipment located within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Institute of Optics, and the .
