ABET-ing on Accreditation
Jun 1, 2013 — The new ABET accreditation for optics/photonics engineering is good news for universities offering such programs as well as for the students who will attend those universities and the companies that will hire them. But by a trickle-down effect, it’s good for the rest of us, too. Raising awareness of optics and photonics as a separate and important engineering discipline can only help those of us who are tired of explaining that “phototronics” (a word often left in my phone...
