GER-9553609 Houde-Walter The University of Rochester has a long record of producing outstanding PhDs in Optical Science and Engineering. Students know this, so there is an ample supply of highly qualified U.S. citizens that apply for graduate study at Rochester each year. Student support is in short supply, however, and this severely limits the number of doctorates in Optics produced by Rochester. Should additional support become available through the NSF GRT program, we can guarantee the admission of additional U.S. citizens without in any way compromising the academic excellence of the doctoral program. Three academic departments, The Institute of Optics, The Department of Physics and Astronomy, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, have joined forces to attract the GRT program to Rochester. Together we propose several enhancements to our already strong programs. These include Optics training in technical communication, training opportunities for GRT students as future mentors, and international research opportunities for GRT students. We have also developed several new approaches to recruiting underrepresented minorities and women. These enhancements will benefit the GRT students and will improve the quality of doctoral education in Optics overall.

GER-9553609 Houde-Walter Rochester University the Rochester拥有悠久的光学科学和工程学博士学位。 学生知道这一点，因此每年在罗切斯特（Rochester）申请大量高素质的美国公民。 但是，学生的支持很短，这严重限制了罗切斯特（Rochester）生产的光学博士学位的数量。 如果通过NSF GRT计划获得额外的支持，我们可以保证接受更多的美国公民，而不会以任何方式损害博士学位课程的学术卓越。三个学术部门，即光学研究所，物理与天文学系和机械工程系，已经联手将GRT计划吸引到罗切斯特。我们共同提出了一些已经强大的计划的增强功能。其中包括技术沟通方面的光学培训，为GRT学生作为未来导师的培训机会以及GRT学生的国际研究机会。我们还开发了几种新方法来招募代表性不足的少数民族和妇女。这些增强功能将使GRT学生受益，并将提高整体光学博士教育的质量。
