Curriculum, Program, and Infrastructure Development for Bachelor of Science in Optical Science and Engineering

建议没有。主要研究者：Osinski， marek机构名称：新墨西哥大学标题：光学科学与工程理学学士课程、项目和基础设施发展摘要工程学院电气与计算机工程系、文理学院物理与天文系、文理学院教育专业、个人与家庭系；新墨西哥大学（UNM）教育学院和社区教育学院提议共同制定一个新的光学科学与工程学士学位的综合计划，重点是光子学领域的教育，伴随着教师培训和K-12光学教育的加强，最初在高中和初中阶段，最终在该计划的实施阶段达到小学水平。该计划还将有一个重要的目标，即支持微系统、纳米科学和其他新兴领域的光学方面。具体而言，该计划将包括开发新的大学学位课程，建议创建新的实验室，开发培训K-12光学科学和工程教师的课程，创建外展项目，确定和激活少数民族学生的支持来源，以及地方和国家工业和政府实验室的参与。通过整合当前有关教学设计和评估的教学学习理论，拟议的新学位课程将支持一种新的模式，可用于新墨西哥大学工程学院和全国的其他工程专业。最重要的是，拟议的学位将弥合新墨西哥州独特的光子学教育项目层次结构中最后剩下的差距，从桑迪亚国家实验室支持的西梅萨高中光子学学院开始，该学院为阿尔伯克基技术职业学院的光子学技术副学士课程提供支持，并以新墨西哥大学提供的光学科学与工程硕士和博士课程结束。拟议的学士学位将使光学和光子学领域全面的教育和职业选择成为可能，这将使新墨西哥州产业能够填补其以光子学为中心的各级职位，从技术人员到高级研究员，从当地培训的劳动力。更广泛地说，拟议的学位将有助于满足整个美国工业新兴的劳动力和教育需求。该计划的主要目标是培养一支独特的、备受期待的光学人才队伍，因为他们广泛、先进、跨学科和工业相关的教育和培训，将能够领导新墨西哥州和国家进入光学和光子学参与的21世纪。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230150PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Osinski, MarekINSTITUTION NAME: University of New MexicoTITLE: Curriculum, Program, and Infrastructure Development for Bachelor of Science in Optical Science and EngineeringNSF RECEIVED DATE: 06/03/2002ABSTRACTThe faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EECE) in the School of Engineering, theDepartment of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of EducationalSpecialties in the College of Arts and Science, and the Department of Individual, Family, and Community Educationin the College of Education at the University of New Mexico (UNM) propose to jointly develop a comprehensiveplan for a new B.S. degree in Optical Science and Engineering, with emphasis on education in the field ofphotonics, accompanied by teacher training and enhancement of K-12 optics education initially at the high- andmiddle-school levels, and eventually reaching down to the elementary school level in the implementation stage ofthis program. The program will also have an important objective of supporting optically enabled aspects ofmicrosystems, nanoscience, and other emerging fields. Specifically, the plan will incorporate development of a newcollege degree curriculum, proposing creation of new laboratories, development of courses training K-12 teachers inoptical science and engineering, creation of outreach programs, identification and activation of sources of supportfor minority students, and involvement of local and national industry and government laboratories.Through the incorporation of current pedagogical learning theories concerning instructional design andassessment, the proposed new degree curriculum will support a new model that will be available for use by otherengineering programs at UNM's School of Engineering and nationwide. Most importantly, the proposed degree willbridge the last remaining gap in the unique hierarchy of photonics educational programs in New Mexico, starting with the Photonics Academy at West Mesa High School supported by the Sandia National Laboratories that feeds into the Photonics Technology Associate Degree program at the Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute, and ending with the M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Optical Science and Engineering offered at UNM. The comprehensive line-up of educational and career options in optics and photonics that would be enabled by the proposed B.S. degree will permit New Mexico industry to fill its photonics-centered positions at all levels, from the technician to the advanced researcher, from a workforce trained locally. The proposed degree will, more generally, help meet the emerging workforce and educational needs of the entire US industry.The main goal of the proposed program is to create a unique and highly desired cadre of optics personnel who,because of their broad, advanced, interdisciplinary, and industrially relevant education and training, will be able tolead the State of New Mexico and the Nation into the optics- and photonics-engaged 21 st century.
