Photonic Integrated Circuit Bootcamp

我们提出了一项密集的培训课程，以重新培养增长中的光电子集成电路(PIC)技术领域的专业人员。三家公司和两所大学联手开发了一门实践课程，使用行业工具和标准涵盖了整个PIC创建过程，包括设计、制造、测试和封装。该课程解决了技能短缺和对现场实践经验的需求，培训PIC从业者，他们将比通过标准途径更快地成为有效的员工。该课程将在三个月的时间里以新兵训练营的形式进行，重点是硅光子学。如果成功，它可能会成为每年提供的专业认证项目的一部分。

We propose an intense training course to reskill professionals in the growing Photonics Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology sector. Three companies and two universities have teamed up to develop a hands-on course covering the entire PIC creation process, including design, fabrication, testing, and packaging, using industry tools and standards. The course addresses the skills shortage and needs for practical experience in the field, training PIC practitioners who will become effective employees quicker than through standard routes. The course will be carried out in short boot camp-style sessions over three months, focusing on Silicon Photonics. If successful, it could form part of a professional accreditation program offered annually.
