Undergraduate Fiber Optics and Communications for Engineering Technology is designed to introduce 30 faculty members from community and undergraduate colleges to this expanding technology. Two one-week seminars/workshops are planned for June 1996. The program is a collaborative effort involving three community colleges in the Boston, MA area and one four-year technical college. During the first week, 15 faculty will be offered 40 hours of training, half of which will be in the fiber optic laboratory at Wentworth Institute of Technology, and the remaining 20 hours will consist of lectures, simulation and analysis using computers. Involvement by industry is integral to the program. The laboratory exercises allow participants to handle optical fibers and a number of specialized instrumentation and test equipment developed specifically for fiber optics. The basics, uses, and applications of fiber optics will be emphasized, especially as they relate to engineering technology education at the two- and four-year level. In the selection process, women, minorities and those faculty who intend to introduce/enhance fiber optic instruction at their home institutions will receive priority. No prior knowledge of fiber optics or communications technology is required. A follow-up one-week session is proposed for the summer of 1997.

本科光纤和通信工程技术的目的是介绍30名教师从社区和本科院校这一不断扩大的技术。 计划于1996年6月举办两次为期一周的研讨会/讲习班。 该计划是一个合作的努力，涉及三个社区学院在波士顿，马萨诸塞州地区和一个四年制技术学院。 在第一周，15名教员将接受40小时的培训，其中一半将在温特沃斯理工学院的光纤实验室进行，其余20小时将包括讲座、模拟和使用计算机进行分析。 行业的参与是该计划的组成部分。 实验室练习允许参与者处理光纤和一些专门为光纤开发的专用仪器和测试设备。 将强调光纤的基础知识，用途和应用，特别是因为它们与两年和四年的工程技术教育有关。 在选择过程中，妇女，少数民族和那些打算在其家乡机构引入/加强光纤教学的教师将获得优先考虑。 不需要光纤或通信技术的先验知识。 建议在1997年夏季举行为期一周的后续会议。
