Welcome to the Industrial
Affiliates Web page and thanks for taking a moment to review a
program that has helped bridge the gap between education and the
specific needs of industry and other organizations that require
employees with comprehensive skills and abilities in optical
sciences.
Since the founding of
this college, formerly known as the Optical Sciences Center, the
need for close collaborations with various public and private
organizations has been central to our mission. In fact, our
very existence was born from a need by the United States Air Force
in the early 1960's for more and better personnel trained in optics.
That circumstance began our close relationship with the defense
industry and made this world-renowned college a reality.
Ultimately, the need for more optics-educated employees grew and
industry looked to this college to hire graduating students to
support the public and private needs of the optics industry.
Today we enjoy the active
participation of more than 40 corporations and organizations in our
Industrial Affiliates program and we have, at one time or another,
served hundred of individuals and corporations with their
optics-related challenges.
The mission of this
program is to provide a venue for today's optics corporations and
organizations to partner with this college in educating the next
generation of optical scientists and optical engineers.
Similarly, we want to provide an environment in which all can enjoy
our rich history while also tapping into the vast knowledge
contained within the minds of all who reside within this college and
of those who will soon possibly work for you.
