I have a friend who does this course.

It is a degree in electircal enginnering, but focuse on solar power; how it works, and how to construct solar panels for use.

You must be thinking of Photovoltaic engineering McLake.

Photonics engineering is about applying light (in particular lasers) to technology (e.g. optical fibres, compact discs, optoelectronics, optical processors etc). There seems to be quite a bit of future in this field due in applications like telecommunications, biomedical equiptment, and even electronics. It is related to electrical engineering, which is a broader field.

theres a similiar course in MACQ call B Technology (Opotelectronic)..and the cut off its like 70 last yr..

/me crosses finger so he can get in..


and yea, as wogboy said, its gotta do with light and application such as communications wires
