Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement Workshop in Laser/Electro-Optic Technology

目前正在为主要位于阿巴拉契亚地区的四年制大学教师举办一个为期两周的激光/光电技术讲习班（1991年8月11日至23日）。学员将接受有关激光的理论和原理、激光安全、电光学以及激光的设计和构造方面的指导和培训。特别注意的是在高级本科实验室实验中使用激光。在基础科学、分析化学、医学、通信和制造业的应用将在实地考察中得到说明，实地考察包括橡树岭国家实验室、橡树岭卫理医学中心、田纳西大学、汤普森癌症生存中心、原子科学公司、在当地的制造工厂和光纤通信公司。本次研讨会的材料来源于项目目录开发的激光/电光技术课程，该课程由佩里西比州立技术社区学院教授。其他相关材料来自西弗吉尼亚卫斯理学院开发的创新实验室实验。举办这个讲习班的动机来自激光技术中心进行的一项调查，该调查显示，需要对激光/电光技术人员进行培训和教育。//

A two-week workshop (August 11-23, 1991) in laser/electro-optic technology is being offered for four-year college teachers located primarily in the Appalachian Region. Participants receive instruction and training in the theory and principles of lasers, laser safety, electro-optics, and the design and construction of lasers. Special attention is given to the use of lasers in advanced undergraduate laboratory experiments. Applications in basic science, analytical chemistry, medicine, communications, and manufacturing will be illustrated in field trips to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Oak Ridge Methodist Medical Center, the University of Tennessee, the Thompson Cancer Survival Center, the Atom Sciences corporation, and in a local manufacturing plant and local fiber optic communications company. Material for this proposed workshop has originated from a course in laser/electro-optic technology developed by the Project Directory and taught at Pellissippi State Technical Community College. Additional relevant material has arisen from innovative laboratory experiments developed at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Motivation for offering this workshop comes from a survey conducted by the Laser Technology Center which showed that a need exists for training and educating persons in laser/electro-optic technology.//
