This project focuses on enhancing the quality of undergraduate education for electrical engineers by incorporating the most relevant demand areas in technology into the undergraduate curriculum. The explosive growth in fiber optics and optoelectronics is expected to create a huge demand for trained engineers in that area. To make students proficient with state-of-the-art technology, the project is developing two new laboratory courses in fiber optics and optoelectronics. These two laboratories complement the courses in fiber optical communications and semiconductor optoelectronic devices that are being planned for the near future. These laboratories are providing hands-on experiments that illustrate fiber optics and optoelectronics principles and applications. The experiments are designed in such a way that the concepts from the classroom are reinforced in the laboratory. The experiments vary in difficulty from simple operations, such as handling and measuring the numerical aperture of a multi-mode fiber, to very advanced procedures such as coherent communications. The implementation of the new laboratory courses also includes the incorporation of innovative teaching techniques such as active learning, team learning, and corporate learning into the laboratories. *

该项目旨在通过将技术领域最相关的需求纳入本科课程，提高电气工程师本科教育的质量。光纤和光电子学的爆炸性增长预计将对该领域训练有素的工程师产生巨大的需求。为了让学生熟练掌握最先进的技术，该项目正在开发光纤和光电子学两门新的实验课程。这两个实验室是对计划在不久的将来开设的光纤通信和半导体光电器件课程的补充。这些实验室提供动手实验，说明光纤和光电子原理和应用。实验是这样设计的，课堂上的概念在实验室得到强化。从简单的操作，如处理和测量多模光纤的数值孔径，到非常高级的程序，如相干通信，这些实验的难度各不相同。新实验课程的实施还包括将创新的教学技术，如主动学习、团队学习和企业学习纳入实验室。＊
