Employment direction and prospect of optical engineering
There are generally two employment directions for graduation. One is the optical direction, with small demand, high threshold and good prospects. Generally do optical design in large companies, such as optical lens design, optical device design (optical communication), lighting optical design, etc. Secondly, the direction of electricity, with large demand and low threshold, requires hardware engineers (circuit design) from small mobile phones to large cargo ships; Of course, with the development of Internet, there are also graduates who work as software engineers and even algorithm engineer.
Optical engineering is a relatively large specialty, involving many directions, such as optical communication direction, optical sensing direction and so on. In addition, the application of light in our daily life is particularly extensive and necessary. From this consideration, the market demand of optical engineering is still very large, so it is not difficult to think that this can promote the employment of optical engineering.
