Program Description
Oakland University’s School of Engineering and Computer Science and Professional and Continuing Education worked with automotive lighting suppliers and companies to collaboratively develop a hands-on program designed for STEM professionals interested in a career in automotive lighting. Designed and taught by practicing lighting engineers and OU faculty, the program will reduce employment transition time and provide opportunities for students to interact with automotive lighting professionals.
The 12-week, 72 hour program covers fundamental topics exposing students to Optics and LED Lighting, Electricals and Electronics, Design and Testing, Manufacturing Processes and Marketing. The program is ideal for graduating and working engineers new to the lighting industry. Each module includes minimally one 3-hour educational field experience to enhance first-hand learning.
Advances in lighting such as smart lights, LED innovations, high efficiency and low cost are fueling the rapid pace of technology changes. In turn, engineers entering the LED lighting industry are in high demand and nationally earn a median salary of $100,000.
A PACE Certificate of Achievement will be awarded upon successful completion of the program.
