Baker College Success Stories
Baker College Success Stories
When cutting edge technology demands meet undeveloped academics, new programs are created to meet industry demand. Baker College met the need and developed a Photonics and Laser Technology program. Not only that, but they are celebrating recent graduates. Two of those graduates now have full time positions with companies in the photonics industry. The two videos here showcase their experience.

EOT Move
EOT Move
Driven by strong growth in recent years, Electro-Optics Technology, Inc. (EOT) announced it will be moving to a new facility. The building is approximately 40,000 sq. ft. and features about 15,000 sq. ft. of new clean room space and nearly double the manufacturing space for optical components. The company says that this new layout will allow for increased efficiency in workflow and production lines, with benefits to be passed along to its customers. The company has been supplying enabling components such as optical isolators and diagnostic equipment to manufacturers and users of high power laser systems since 1987.
The move to 3340 Parkland Ct., Traverse City, MI, will be effective October 19, 2015

Volunteers Urge Congressional Action on Photonics Partnerships, Higher Education
Volunteers Urge Congressional Action on Photonics Partnerships, Higher Education
SPIE and other NPI volunteers visited Congressional offices last week to urge support for specifying optics and photonics technologies in reauthorization of legislation encouraging public-private partnerships, and for reauthorization of the Higher Education Act including photonics vocational objectives. The actions would help ensure that jobs and talent stay in the USA, encourage new technology development and revenue sources, and foster development of a capable workforce for the future.
