This online course is being offered at no charge to U.S. high school, community college and technical college faculty interested in teaching a basic photonics course. The course will cover OP-TEC's Fundamentals of Light and Lasers. Modules Include: Nature and Properties of Light, Optical Handling and Positioning, Light Sources and Laser Safety, Basic Geometrical Optics, Basic Physical Optics, and Principles of Lasers.
After successful completion of all six modules by May 31, 2014, participants will spend a 3-day Capstone Laboratory Experience at an OP-TEC partner college where they will have the opportunity to conduct laboratory experiments included in the course and discuss with experienced instructors best practices for teaching the materials.
Participants in this course will learn to effectively reference and use the National Electrical Code (NEC) with regard to the installation of small wind energy systems, and to properly size conductors, overcurrent protection, and associated equipment for grid interactive and battery-based systems. Many of the calculations and processes in this course align with the Job Task Analysis for the NABCEP Small Wind Installer Certification.
This six-week online course uses a series of online presentations, webinars, topic resources, assignments, and quizzes to teach the basics of solar electric systems. Participants will learn how photovoltaic (PV) systems work, diagram the four PV system types, describe and identify components, understand the best application and limitations of each system type, define the solar window, make energy efficiency recommendations, estimate system loads, and understand the basics of PV site assessment.
This course is an online course and will require participants to attend an online webinar for each week of the course.

This workshop is the capstone activity for the project on Energy Ethics in Science and Engineering Education that was funded in 2011 by the National Science Foundation. The project defined energy ethics as requiring consideration of technical and social feasibility as well as ethical desirability of energy choices. It addressed issues of individual and collective responsibility and the ethical merits of energy choices by asking whether they are ethically permissible, recommended, required, or should be forbidden. It sponsored energy ethics research and developed ethics education programs for graduate students doing energy-related research.
Mentoring Help That Can Lead to Grant Funding Mentor-Connect is designed to provide mentors, faculty development, and resources to help community colleges benefit from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program. If your college has not received NSF grant funding in the past 10 years, has a need to develop or strengthen STEM technician education programs, could benefit from improved leadership skills among STEM faculty, and would like assistance in preparing a competitive grant proposal for NSF’s ATE program, Mentor-Connect is for you! A grant proposal development workshop with financial support will take place in January 2014 for those selected. The webinar will take place from 12 to 1:30 pm CST.
