Modern optics is the basis for some of the most innovative applications in today's technology. Lasers and modern optics have also had a major impact on the experimental work in the physical sciences. Yet this field has received very little attention in most college physics curricula. While some physics departments have tried to reverse this trend in either their courses for the majors or for the non-majors, few have attempted to incude this field in a connected and comprehensive manner in their undergraduate curriculum. Union is introducing experimental modern optics and lasers at several stages of the physics curriculum both to educate a wider audience, and to provide a stronger background for those who would pursue this field at a more advanced level. They are using high-quality optical components, lasers, detectors, and analysers for advanced experiments, and also in laboratories for non-science majors. In addition, they are involving students from other sciences and, especially, engineering in the work. The college is matching the award with an equal amont of funds.

现代光学是一些最具创新性的 在当今技术中的应用。 激光和现代光学 也对物理实验工作产生了重大影响 以理工科为重 然而，这一领域很少受到关注， 大多数大学物理课程。 虽然有些物理系 试图在他们的课程中扭转这一趋势， 无论是专业还是非专业，很少有人试图将这一点纳入其中。 以相互关联和全面的方式， 本科课程。 联盟正在引进实验现代 光学和激光在物理课程的几个阶段， 教育更广泛的受众，并提供更强大的背景， 对于那些追求这个领域在一个更先进的水平。 他们使用高质量的光学元件，激光器，探测器， 和分析仪进行先进的实验， 非理科专业的学生 此外，他们还让学生 从其他科学，特别是工程学中学习。 的 学院将为该奖项提供同等数量的资金。
