Background:
Optics and photonics applications are rapidly transforming the way we work and live. Photonics, and its applications, involve the cutting-edge use of lasers, optics, fiber-optics and electro-optical devices. Photonics has many applications in manufacturing, medicine, communications, solid-state lighting, and other high-tech fields. Thus, it represents a broad, commercially viable area in which American employers require a steady supply of well-qualified technicians.
The demand for photonics technicians in the United States is great and that demand is growing faster than the pool of qualified candidates. Since most of the skills needed for photonics workers at the technician level are obtainable through AAS degree programs, community and technical colleges provide the optimum environment for significantly increasing the number of qualified personnel available to U.S. employers in technical fields. Two-year colleges must also partner with high schools to design photonics career pathways to lead students through well planned secondary course sequences and into articulated two-year postsecondary programs. The creation of this secondary-to postsecondary “pipeline” of students is critical to the success of producing enough qualified technicians to meet industry needs.
In an effort to support and promote the inclusion of optics and photonics applications in secondary and postsecondary programs, OP-TEC, the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education, offers a free two-day Workshop on Optics and Photonics Education.
This workshop will explore the georeferencing of historical maps. A historical map that was originally created on paper will not have an electronic reference to the surface of the earth. This workshop will explore how to take a map that was originally created on paper and reference it to the surface of the earth so that it can be utilized in a geospatial system. This allows the educator to utilize today’s images with data created in the past. The specific case that will be done will be to georeference civil war battlefields with imagery and shapefiles of today. The heads up digitization of information contained on the map will also be done. No previous GIS knowledge is required. Online video and printable documents will be available for the participants to use after the workshop.
Instructor: Vince DiNoto
Workshop will meet from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm in Room 108 of the Business building.
This workshop will be held on the Southwest Campus of Jefferson Community and Technical College. The college is located at 1000 Community College Drive, Louisville, KY 40272.
Past
Throughout the two-day symposium participants will break out into a number of workshops, interactive presentations, and roundtables, where they will have the opportunity to discuss cutting edge environmental education research ideas and policy. Results of current environmental education research will be presented in a series of more formal presentations and posters and several plenary discussions will focus on current trends in environmental education research.
This curriculum presents a comprehensive overview of networking; from fundamentals to advanced applications and services. It is based on the top-down approach to networking that is popular in many colleges and universities.
The course emphasizes concepts and skills required to design networks, while providing opportunities for practical application and hands-on experience by teaching students how to install, operate, and maintain networks.
Students will acquire skill through hands on and virtual labs using the Cisco Packet tracer.

Based on her well-known book, Assessing Impact, Joellen Killion will provide guidance and practical resources for evaluating professional development impact. Her eight-step evaluation framework is grounded in three key assumptions: professional development is data-driven, research-based, and well-defined; those in charge of the professional development have the capacity to implement the learning and the evaluation; and key stakeholders intend to use the evaluation results to make decisions about the program. While intended to serve ATE evaluation efforts, the workshop is open to broad participation. Register soon at evalu-ate.org/events

Soft- and entrepreneurial skills are the two areas that employers have agreed that make the difference in choice when hiring college graduates; this is especially so in BioTechnology, Information Technology, Computer Science and other high-tech fields. This Call for Participation is for a National Science Foundation supported Faculty Development Seminar that brings Virtual Enterprise to the BioTech and Information Technology disciplines. Its objective is to bring our students in line with industry’s demand for soft-skills while giving them the sense that becoming a tech-entrepreneur is not something that’s out of their reach, especially in the current economic climate.

From Observation to Prediction in the 21st Century
Stewardship of marine resources in the 21st Century demands the development of predictive tools based on models and field observations. The challenge of developing these tools forms the theme of the 2010 Ocean Sciences meeting.
This overarching theme emphasizes efforts to link observations and models to form superior predictions across multiple space and time scales. It encompasses research focusing on some aspect of observations, models, and also field or laboratory experiments that ultimately seek to enhance our predictive ability, as well as efforts focusing on education, outreach, and marine policy.

Four major players who support innovation in manufacturing are sponsoring this workshop, led by nationally known lean facilitator Mike Rothmeier. Participants will be guided through an interactive process of: 1. understanding the value of going green to the bottom line; 2. identifying quick wins for their organization; and 3. learning how to create a sustainable organization.
This is a course for people whose native language is other than English and who must write documents in support of therapeutic product development or regulatory submissions. This course is valuable for pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech professionals in drug discovery, product development, quality assurance, clinical testing, information technology, and regulatory affairs who have some understanding of English, but wish to refine their writing skills. It is also helpful for native-born writers who want to better understand the English language and how to control it.
The NACK Center has several nano-characterization tools that can be controlled remotely by users around the world. By sending us your samples, or using standard NACK samples, you can have access to these powerful tools without the need for maintenance, dedicated staff, or capital investment. A NACK engineer will load the samples and be on hand to provide technical support throughout the process. NACK is also willing to provide a technical expert to assist in answering questions about the tool or the process and can interact directly with your students during the remote session.
The NACK Center offers several lab activities, but you are also welcome to design your own depending on your needs and curricular goals. Once you feel comfortable operating the equipment, you are able to run the laboratory experience entirely by yourself. Staff will always be on hand to ensure successful operation as well as provide sample loading and other services that are unable to be performed remotely.
