Two-Year College Quantum Optics Advanced Technological Education Program

该计划将把主要国际量子光学和技术中心的资源与两年制大学教师的成功合作结合起来，这些教师在过去八年中为两年制大学物理教师制定并管理了有效的国家教师发展计划。该项目将聘请 40 名受雇于美国各地科学和工程技术人员学术准备工作的两年制大学教员，参加为期两年的为期两周的年度项目和每半年一次的学年后续研讨会。参与者将获得有关量子光学最新发现的教程、在研究中心实验室使用这项最新技术的新工具的实践经验以及主动学习技术的教学培训，旨在最大限度地提高学生对为这些新兴技术奠定基础的科学原理的理解。

This program will combine the resources of a major international center for quantum optics and technology with a successful collaboration of two-year college faculty members who have developed and administered an effective national faculty development program for two-year college physics faculty over the past eight years. The project will engage 40 two-year college faculty members employed in the academic preparation of science and engineering technicians throughout the US, in a two year long program of annual two week institutes and semi-annual academic year follow-up workshops. Participants will receive a combination of tutorials on recent discoveries in quantum optics, hands-on experience with the new tools of this recent technology in the laboratories of the research center and the pedagogical training in active learning techniques designed to maximize student understanding of the scientific principles which provide the foundation for these emerging technologies.
