To meet the demand for highly trained technicians in photonics (optics, lasers, fiber optics) improved classroom, texts and tutorial materials in laser and fiber-optics will be developed and used to train technicians in the Laser and Fiber-Optic Technology Program (LFOT) at Queensborough Community College (QCC) and at other institutions in the region. To meet the needs of the industry, the QCC LFOT advisory board of representatives from local companies will be consulted throughout the development process. Multimedia courseware, interactive video, on-line laboratory manuals, remote laboratory access through PC driven instrumentation and shared facilities, will be used to train technicians at QCC and other institutions. By making the computer-based materials available on CD-ROM, students will have access to the computer-based materials with or without connecting to the QCC physics department network. Students at remote locations (schools other than QCC) will use the access to the QCC network for direct real-time contact with instructors and laboratories. The materials developed and tested at QCC will be used for training of students through distance learning at Suffolk Community College (SCC). The distance learning approach will then be expanded to other regional colleges. Student internships will be provided by industry and research institutions, and their performance evaluated as part of an ongoing evaluation of the program. Regional and national workshops will be used to disseminate the materials and help establish similar networks of colleges nationally.

为了满足对训练有素的光子学（光学、激光、光纤）技术人员的需求，将开发改进激光和光纤的课堂、文本和教程材料，并用于培训昆斯伯勒社区学院（QCC）和该地区其他机构的激光和光纤技术项目（LFOT）的技术人员。为配合业界的需要，我们会在整个发展过程中谘询由本地公司代表组成的谘询委员会。多媒体课件，互动视频，在线实验室手册，通过PC驱动的仪器和共享设施远程实验室访问，将用于培训QCC和其他机构的技术人员。通过将计算机材料制作成CD-ROM，无论是否连接到QCC物理系网络，学生都可以访问计算机材料。在偏远地区（QCC以外的学校）的学生将使用QCC网络与教师和实验室直接实时联系。在QCC开发和测试的材料将用于萨福克社区学院（SCC）通过远程学习培训学生。然后，远程学习方法将扩展到其他地区学院。学生实习将由行业和研究机构提供，他们的表现将作为项目持续评估的一部分进行评估。将利用区域和国家讲习班传播这些材料，并帮助在全国建立类似的学院网络。
