Program Description:

Prepares students holding a bachelor's degree in science or engineering for positions in research in the imaging industry or in the application of various imaging modalities to problems in engineering and science.

Course work includes a foundation in mathematics and the physical science of imaging, core knowledge in the science and technology of a selected area of imaging and the knowledge and experience in system design needed to create new imaging systems.

This stimulating program is designed for the student holding a bachelor's degree in science or engineering. It will provide important preparation for positions in research in the imaging industry or in the application of various imaging modalities to problems in engineering and science.

The master of science curriculum emphasizes a systems approach to the study of imaging science, and with a background in science or engineering, this degree prepares one for positions in research, product development, and management in the imaging industry. The curriculum was developed in collaboration with industrial partners to emphasize skills needed by their scientists, engineers, and managers.

Formal course work includes consideration of the physics and chemistry of radiation-sensitive materials and processes, the applications of physical and geometrical optics to electro-optical systems, the mathematical evaluation of image forming systems, and the statistics of experimental design and quality control. The online learning program offers the master of science degree curriculum with specialty tracks or a customized track can be designed to meet the student's objectives.
