Optics are everywhere! Keene State College is excited to share an overview of new educational and training pathways in the field of precision optics. Starting this fall at KSC is a new one-year certificate program in precision optics, preparing students for high-tech careers that are abundant in the New England area. This program will provide students with a strong foundation on the fundamentals of optics, and also offer hands on opportunities with instrumentation and tools used by the optics industry. Students will learn to use diamond turning machining, thin-film deposition, and metrology tools. 5-Day Professional workshops are also available at KSC for diamond turning machining and metrology. Our presentation will highlight these areas and overview the curriculum, new learning spaces, and benefits to choosing these pathways to find success.
