Past
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.
