OP-TEC, the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education, is a National Science Foundation (NSF) National Center of Excellence with the stated mission of promoting photonics education and assisting colleges around the country in developing and implementing educational programs that support expansion of this critical new technology.

As part of our efforts to provide faculty development in optics and photonics, OP-TEC will be offering a hybrid, online faculty development course. The course will cover OP-TEC’s Fundamentals of Light and Lasers. Each of the six modules will be taught online over a two-week period with a high level of self-paced instruction combined with an interactive component facilitated by e-mail exchanges and chat room discussions.

Fundamentals of Light and Lasers Modules:
Module 1: Nature and Properties of Light
Module 2: Optical Handling and Positioning
Module 3: Light Sources and Laser Safety
Module 4: Basic Geometrical Optics
Module 5: Basic Physical Optics
Module 6: Principles of Lasers

This online course is being offered at no charge to high school, community college and technical college faculty interested in teaching a basic photonics course. Participants who successfully complete the 12-week course and 3-day laboratory session will receive a certificate of completion from OP-TEC. Participants will also be awarded 9 CEUs.

Next course date: Starts September 20, 2010 ( 12-week course runs 9/20/10 - 12/10/10)

The six modules will be taught over a 12-week period. After the completion of Module 6, all participants will spend a 3-day period at an OP-TEC Partner College where they will have the opportunity to conduct all laboratory experiments included in the course and discuss with experienced instructors best practices for teaching the materials.

This workshop covers the applications and operation of MEMS cantilever and MEMS cantilever arrays. This workshop will simulate the dynamic operation of MEMS cantilevers - cantilevers that use a change in resonant frequency to identify changes in cantilever mass due to the accumulation of micro and nano-size materials on the cantilever’s surface. Participants will use various materials to study how a dynamic cantilever’s operation is affected by its dimensions and mass. Workshop discussions will include where and how this material and the related activities can be incorporated into an existing curriculum.

You are encouraged to bring your laptop and digital camera!

When: December 4th, 1pm to 5pm
Where: SCME is located at the UNM Manufacturing Training and
Technology Center (MTTC), 800 Bradbury Dr. SE, Albuquerque, NM.
Get your business ready for higher risk farming. It’s a new decade and agricultural producers will need to adjust time-tested strategies to cope. An end to cheap credit and energy threaten higher breakeven costs ahead. Peak land values and cash rents compound the uncertainty. Estate tax and health care reforms may favor new business structures. What’s more, mounting federal budget deficits may alter the government safety net.

DTN/The Progressive Farmer 2010 Ag Summit will help you adapt to the new business climate and focus on solutions. Get expert outlooks on interest rates, tax overhauls, land markets, health care reform, crop insurance reforms, weather and commodity markets. We know farmers value peer-to-peer counseling, so we’ve booked farmer speakers on how to hedge your interest rate risks, control your energy costs and partner with neighbors for expansion.
The future of technology will be unimaginably good. This Webinar will allow participants to journey with a noted futurist as he describes his vision of how the anticipated fusion of virtuality and reality will influence technological education and our world.
