This project is to increase the effectiveness of courses and undergraduate research in optical engineering. Students study the practical essentials of fiber optic design especially those aspects that are verifiable in the laboratory. Additionally there is opportunity for in-depth study and independent research. Optical systems are designed and tested under conditions similar to that of the workplace. Graduates are therefore better prepared for the kind of practical work expected of them as optical engineers. Students are encouraged to engage in special topics in optical engineering under the guidance of a mentor with the expectation that some will seek careers in research who otherwise would go directly into industry. In any case the research experience widens students' horizons and allows then to contribute to the knowledge base of this increasingly important area of engineering. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.

该项目旨在提高光学工程课程和本科生研究的有效性。 学生学习光纤设计的实用要点，特别是那些可在实验室验证的方面。 此外，还有深入学习和独立研究的机会。 光学系统是在与工作场所类似的条件下设计和测试的。 因此，毕业生可以更好地为光学工程师的实际工作做好准备。 我们鼓励学生在导师的指导下参与光学工程的特殊课题，并期望一些学生能够从事研究工作，否则他们将直接进入工业界。 无论如何，研究经验拓宽了学生的视野，并为这一日益重要的工程领域的知识库做出了贡献。 该奖项由首席研究员所在机构提供同等数额的奖金。
