激光 and Photonics Technology
Dr. 智米. Liao's Fusion Ignition Presentation at 推荐正规买球平台
Dr. 智米 Liao came to Central Carolina Community College because of its 激光 and Photonics Technology program, the only one of its kind on the East Coast.

激光 and 光子s technology is a high tech program focusing its instruction on understanding the application of electronic, 光纤, 光子, and laser principles. An emphasis on hands-on learning prepares students for real-world projects and practical applications.
According to department faculty, this focus on application of knowledge rather than theory leads to a better understanding of the work environment and the utilization of new technologies in a variety of industrial, medical and business settings.
While four-year university instruction focuses a majority of time on theory, the LPT program at 推荐正规买球平台 instructs students on theory, but uses the majority of its instruction time in a variety of lab environments where theory is put into action.
Successful students tend to enjoy problem solving. They like working with their hands, learning how things work, and have an interest in math and science.
激光s and 光子 technologies are utilized in a variety of fields.
Graduates find jobs in fields that vary from medicine to manufacturing. While jobs are available locally, graduates with a willingness to relocate will find many opportunities across America.
Most graduates earn starting salaries in the range of $45,000 to $60,000 annually. Some, depending upon previous experience and credentials, are earning as much as $75,000 a year. Graduates are employed as laser technicians, R&D技术人员, manufacturing 测试 technicians, 光纤, 现场服务, and electronics technicians.
Many jobs are now available in the medical field where graduates utilize their skills in bio光子 medical applications. Bio光子s is an emerging field where lasers and light are used in medical 程序 and treatments. LPT graduates are employed to install, maintain, and repair bio光子 medical equipment.
这个项目, offered at the Harnett Main Campus in Lillington, NC, is designed to be completed in two years. Instructional facilities include two state-of-the-art electronics labs along with four high-powered laser labs, 加上高科技, Internet-ready classrooms.
