虽然密歇根州的研究生水平光学和光子学教育有着丰富的传统，但培养光子技术人员的大学水平课程几乎不存在。贝克学院于 2013 年秋季在该州启动了第一个为期两年的光子学项目。该项目利用了密歇根光子学集群 Mi-Light 的支持； OP-TEC，国家光学与光子学教育中心；以及授予学院的美国国家科学基金会项目补助金。在第一年，光子学项目就实现了重要的里程碑——召集了一个由行业参与的顾问委员会，开发了几乎整个课程，并创建了一个功能齐全的光学和光子学实验室。还开展了外展活动。本文将描述引入新计划所采取的步骤以及在此过程中吸取的经验教训。
While graduate level optics and photonics education in the state of Michigan has a rich tradition, college level programs that produce photonics technicians are virtually non-existent. Baker College has started the first two-year photonics program in the state in fall 2013. The program is leveraging support from Mi-Light, the Michigan Photonics Cluster; OP-TEC, the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education; and an NSF Project Grant awarded to the College. In its first year the photonics program has achieved important milestones - convening an Advisory Board with industry participation, developing almost the entire curriculum, and creating a fully functional optics and photonics laboratory. Outreach activities have also taken place. The paper will describe the steps taken to introduce the new program and the lessons learned along the way.
