Holography and Fiber Optics as Plan for Increasing Physics Yield

[451643]位于阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔的阿拉巴马a&m大学将开发一种教授现代光学的新方法。该计划的核心部分是全息术（第一学期）和光纤通信（第二学期）本科生的实验课程。这些课程的最后一部分将强调为我们的本科生准备和排练，以便在“阿拉巴马太空营”向11-12年级的学生和大学新生教授这门课程，这将涉及大约2000名高度精选和高度积极的学生。回报包括激励年轻的黑人科学和工程专业学生参与研究和发展的前沿领域；为2000名学龄前学生提供服务；以及测试一种向本科生教授科学的新方法。

9451643 Lowe Alabama A&M University, an HBCU in Huntsville, Alabama, will develop a new approach to teaching modern optics. The central parts of the program are laboratory courses for undergraduates in holography (first semester) and fiber optic communication (second semester). The last part of these courses will stress preparation and rehearsal for our undergraduate students to teach the subject to 11-12th grade students and college freshman at "Alabama Space Camp," which will reach roughly 2000 highly select and highly motivated students. Payoffs include motivating young black science and engineering students to get involved in an area at the forefront of research and development; doing outreach to 2000 precollege students; and testing of a new approach to teaching science to undergraduates.
