Undergraduate Fiber Optics and Communications for Engineering Technology is designed to introduce 30 faculty members from community and undergraduate colleges to this expanding technology. Two one-week seminars/workshops are planned for June 1996. The program is a collaborative effort involving three community colleges in the Boston, MA area and one four-year technical college. During the first week, 15 faculty will be offered 40 hours of training, half of which will be in the fiber optic laboratory at Wentworth Institute of Technology, and the remaining 20 hours will consist of lectures, simulation and analysis using computers. Involvement by industry is integral to the program. The laboratory exercises allow participants to handle optical fibers and a number of specialized instrumentation and test equipment developed specifically for fiber optics. The basics, uses, and applications of fiber optics will be emphasized, especially as they relate to engineering technology education at the two- and four-year level. In the selection process, women, minorities and those faculty who intend to introduce/enhance fiber optic instruction at their home institutions will receive priority. No prior knowledge of fiber optics or communications technology is required. A follow-up one-week session is proposed for the summer of 1997.

工程技术的本科生光纤和通信旨在向社区和本科学院的30名教职员工介绍这项扩展的技术。 计划于1996年6月举行两个为期一周的研讨会/讲习班。该计划是一项合作的努力，其中涉及波士顿，马萨诸塞州地区的三所社区大学和一所四年制技术学院。 在第一周，将提供40个小时的培训，其中一半将在Wentworth Technology Institute的光纤实验室中，其余20小时将包括使用计算机的讲座，模拟和分析。 行业参与是该计划不可或缺的。 实验室练习允许参与者处理光纤以及专门为光纤开发的许多专门仪器和测试设备。 光纤的基础，用途和应用将得到强调，尤其是在与两年和四年水平的工程技术教育有关的时候。 在选拔过程中，打算在本机构介绍/增强光纤教学的妇女，少数民族和那些教师将获得优先级。 不需要光纤或通信技术的先验知识。 1997年夏天提出了一周的后续课程。
