The PCC-LEOT (Pasadena City College) program was established in 1976 by Wai-Min Liu and Vernon Spaulding. Eight years later in 1984, the ULV-OE (University of La Verne) program was successfully developed. These two programs main strengths were in the Networks that contained Laser Electro-Optics industries and educations. The faculties, students, and graduates whom have participated in the network have benefited from the connections that have been established among each individual.

Unfortunately in 1996, both programs were phased out in each respective institution. Thus Dr. Wai-Min Liu transferred to the PCC Physics Department and currently enjoys teaching Physics and Optics. However, Dr. Liu has missed the sense of unity without the network of friends in the PCC and ULV-OE programs. Many people are interested in finding out what their former colleagues are doing. In other instances, some colleagues may want to hire some of their good friends from the past. At Control Optics we have established a contacts page where former ULV/OE/PCC-LEOT can find their friends from the past.
