Short Course in Applied Optics for College Teachers

参加这个为期两周的短期课程的25名本科教学人员将研究光学在工程中的原理和应用。讲座，演示，动手实验室实验和项目的混合代表了这个增强计划的核心。与会者将获得一份涵盖傅立叶分析、衍射理论、干涉测量、几何光学、全息术、剪切术、云纹法、光学数据处理方法、无损检测和数字图像处理等大多数主题的准备笔记。参与者将有大量的最新光学设备和相关仪器的工作经验，其中大部分是计算机控制的。奥克兰大学拥有出色的应用光学设备，这将使参与者能够使用现代仪器。此外，最新的设备将从制造商和供应商那里借来，并在奥克兰的实验室中安装，供参与者使用。一年后将对这一增强体验的影响进行后续评估。除了美国国家科学基金会的资金外，参与者所在机构还将为项目的运营提供大约10%的差旅费用。

Twenty-five undergraduate teaching faculty attending this two-week short course will work with the principles and applications of optics in engineering. A mixture of lectures, demonstrations, with hands-on laboratory experiments and projects represents the core of this enhancement program. Participants will be provided with a prepared set of notes on most topics which will be covered including Fourier analysis, diffraction theory, interferometry, geometrical optics, holography, shearography, Moire' methods, optical data processing methods, nondestructive testing, and digital image processing. Participants will have intensive work experience with the latest in optical equipment and related instrumentation, much of which is computer controlled. Oakland University possesses outstanding applied optics facilities, which will enable participants to work with the modern instrumentation. In addition, the very latest equipment available will be borrowed from manufacturers and suppliers and set-up in Oakland's laboratories for participant use. A follow-up evaluation of the impact of this enhancement experience will be conducted one year later. In addition to NSF funds, participants' institutions will provide about 10% in travel costs toward the operation of the project.
