9502288 Green The program of research is intended to strengthen the country's research infrastructure through the education of M.S. and B.S. level engineers - those engineers who are necessary for day-to-day operation of industrial and research environments - in an emerging field of technology. The proposed research topic, "Self-Aware Optical Elements," will result in advances in technology for optical systems. The unifying feature of the various sub-projects described is that they are all intend, as a whole to advance the state of the art in manufacture of optical components with integrated sensors and actuators. Through the success of this project, optical systems will become more robust because of elements which can measure their own performance. Optical technology will therefore become more readily available bringing the vast powers of optics for signal processing, computing, sensing and communication further from the laboratory table-top realm into everyday use. Resulting advances in MEMS fabrication and device design techniques will be important to the emerging MEMS technology field. Course development efforts will be directed towards the integration of engineering design skills within the framework of laboratory instruction. Early efforts in course development have resulted in an undergraduate laboratory sequence which teaches engineering design as a series of exercises covering fundamental skills necessary for successful projects. Fundamental design skills include communications skills, data interpretation skills, and significant practice in approaching open-ended problems. It is emphasized to students that engineering is a creative discipline, and solutions to difficult problems come from a combination of technical training and ability to anticipate and interpret the vast sea of the unknown. ***

9502288 Green该研究项目旨在通过培养新兴技术领域的硕士和学士级工程师来加强国家的研究基础设施，这些工程师是工业和研究环境日常运作所必需的。提出的研究课题“自我感知光学元件”将导致光学系统技术的进步。所描述的各种子项目的统一特点是，作为一个整体，它们都打算推进具有集成传感器和执行器的光学元件制造的最新技术。通过这个项目的成功，光学系统将变得更加强大，因为元件可以测量它们自己的性能。因此，光学技术将变得更加容易获得，将光学在信号处理、计算、传感和通信方面的巨大力量从实验室的桌面领域进一步带入日常使用。由此产生的MEMS制造和器件设计技术的进步将对新兴的MEMS技术领域产生重要影响。课程发展的目标是在实验室教学的框架内整合工程设计技能。课程开发的早期努力导致了本科实验序列，将工程设计作为一系列练习来教授，这些练习涵盖了成功项目所必需的基本技能。基本的设计技巧包括沟通技巧、数据解释技巧和处理开放式问题的重要实践。它向学生强调工程学是一门创造性的学科，解决难题的方法来自技术训练和预测和解释浩瀚未知海洋的能力的结合。＊＊＊
