Funds from this program are being used to acquire laboratory equipment and computers for use in an introductory and advanced optics laboratory course for physics and engineering majors. The laboratory courses are a part of a new optics program being instituted at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. The introductory laboratories are designed to use computers both as an aid to the collection of data, and for data analysis and modeling of optical systems. The advanced laboratory is designed to introduce students to lasers, fiber optics, and holography, and to provide them with a suitable background for conducting research in optics. While the field of optics has grown tremendously in terms of its technological importance, it is significant that there are no established optics programs at public institutions of higher education in the state of Illinois. The objective of the program is to use faculty expertise in the field of optics to develop a model optics curriculum that provides students with a marketable specialization in optics. Major instrumentation purchased under this program includes computers and data acquisition hardware, along with optical components for student use in experiments in holography, fiber-optics, spectroscopy, and thin-film physics. In addition, the equipment is being used in an annual series of workshops for high-school science students throughout the St. Louis area.NSF grant funds are being matched with funds from non-federal sources.

该计划的资金用于购买实验室设备和计算机，用于物理和工程专业的入门和高级光学实验室课程。 实验室课程是南伊利诺伊大学爱德华兹维尔分校正在制定的新光学项目的一部分。介绍性实验室旨在使用计算机辅助数据收集、数据分析和光学系统建模。先进的实验室旨在向学生介绍激光、光纤和全息术，并为他们提供进行光学研究的合适背景。尽管光学领域的技术重要性已大幅增长，但值得注意的是，伊利诺伊州的公立高等教育机构没有设立光学项目。该计划的目标是利用光学领域的教师专业知识来开发光学课程模型，为学生提供适合市场的光学专业知识。该计划购买的主要仪器包括计算机和数据采集硬件，以及供学生在全息、光纤、光谱和薄膜物理实验中使用的光学元件。 此外，该设备还被用于为圣路易斯地区的高中理科学生举办的年度系列研讨会。NSF 拨款资金正在与非联邦来源的资金进行匹配。
