The newly developed curriculum encompasses the design and implementation of a problem-based learning (PBL) project: a three dimensional (3D) imaging project using fringe projection. The PBL project requires students to build a digital fringe projection system using a digital projector, to use a digital camera to capture the deformed fringe patterns projected onto the object under study, and to process the captured images using the software Matlab in order to retrieve the 3D profile of the object. The course was taught in a hybrid fashion with a mixture of both traditional lecturing (TL) and PBL, to replace the previous TL course. This paper presents the curriculum development activity and investigates the student perspectives on the developed h-PBL approach through a survey study. Longitudinal data from the open-ended surveys administered after the completion of the PBL project were collected from the multiple year study of the DIP course taught by the same instructor. Data analysis reveals that a higher level of student satisfaction was achieved after h-PBL. The h-PBL approach, albeit more challenging and time-consuming in comparison with TL, motivated and stimulated student self-regulated learning, improved student problem solving skill, and promoted student critical thinking.","PeriodicalId":304941,"journal":{"name":"Fifteenth Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2019","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115510753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shaw","doi":"10.1117/12.2524320","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2524320","url":null,"abstract":"There are many interesting ways in which optics and meteorology intersect and provide cross-discipline learning opportunities. One example is the use of thermal imaging to illustrate the principles underlying urban heat islands (UHIs), found on scales from the mesoscale to the microscale, which give rise to increased temperatures in urban settings. The most common way of documenting such phenomena is through traditional meteorological measurements. This presentation describes the use of a thermal infrared imager to document and help explain micro-scale UHIs observed initially as a persistent difference in air temperature measured by two nearly identical weather stations separated by 2.79 km in Bozeman, Montana. Mobile meteorological measurements from a backpack-mounted weather station, carried throughout the surrounding area at different times of year and compared with the stationary campus weather station, verified the presence and scale of a micro-heat island. This also identified one such micro UHI that existed when the immediate surroundings contained man-made materials such as concrete and asphalt adjacent to natural vegetation. Thermal images from the radiometrically calibrated imager recorded the diurnal thermal signature of manmade and natural surfaces. The thermal images help to explain process that are occurring, whereas most traditional meteorological instrumentation may not provide process-based information. Time-series plots of the infrared brightness temperatures show that the man-made materials emit elevated levels of thermal radiation long after the end of direct solar heating, while natural vegetation quickly comes into thermal equilibrium with the ambient air. The combination of traditional and nontraditional instrumentation document and explain processes occurring in micro UHIs that vary rapidly in space with changing ground cover.","PeriodicalId":304941,"journal":{"name":"Fifteenth Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2019","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122772921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern fabrication and testing equipment are extremely expensive, which cost millions or even tens of millions, and having high requirements for the use environment. Most schools that do not focus on optical fabrication rarely purchase these devices for educational purposes only. Relevant professional teachers are also not familiar with the working principle and use process of the new fabrication and testing equipment such as Computer Controlled Optical Surfacing (CCOS), Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF), Ion Beam Figuring (IBF), laser tracker and LuphoScan interferometer. This has caused the teaching content of the course to stay at the stage of singleaxis machining, knife-edge tester, so that students' knowledge of modern equipment is almost blank. While teaching with micro-course videos, the relevant equipment use process can be visually presented to students, and relevant technical experts can also explain the working principle and scope of application to students more professionally. According to the survey, 82% of students like this micro-course video teaching, acknowledging that it helps to better understanding modern optical fabrication and testing equipment, expand students' knowledge, and increase students' advantages in employment competition.","PeriodicalId":304941,"journal":{"name":"Fifteenth Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2019","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129121306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An elective course named ‘Selected Topics in Communications’ offered to final year students in Electronics and Communication department, faculty of Engineering, Arab Academy for Science and Technology (AAST), Egypt, focuses on free space optics (FSO). The course objective is to equip students with the necessary theoretical models and the practical knowledge of free FSO from the most recent research. The course studies the current FSO capabilities, constraints, challenges and applications both indoors and outdoors in atmospheric, space and underwater channels. The main prerequisite to the course is digital communications due to the dependence on optical technology on high speed transmission and different modulation techniques in order to achieve best performance. In lectures, we define what a paper is and identify their different types. We explain the difference between conferences and journals, the reviewing process and their requirements. Lectures include how to read and write a technical research paper. Such lectures are to familiarize students with the construction of a paper, how is it organized how to scan for certain information and read results. In tutorials, students practice on different research papers and extract required information according to prepared question sheets. At least 25% of the course marks are dedicated to research papers. Lecturers pick an unknown paper for examination. On the other, students are required to perform a paper presentation after choosing a recent paper on a certain topic.","PeriodicalId":304941,"journal":{"name":"Fifteenth Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2019","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134576428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thanks to a well-positioned photonics industry and dedicated professional associations, new milestones were set in the area of training and further education, but also in research and development. The main reason for the shortage of skilled workers in Switzerland was identified as the lack of education for qualified photonics engineers at bachelor and master level. Some years ago, the majority of the Swiss photonics companies syndicated under the patronage of Swissmem as its Photonics Division. In 2015 the members defined their requirements for young skilled workers and prepared a position paper \"Bachelor in Photonics\" in which Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) were specifically asked to offer application-oriented bachelor programs. The NTB with its long tradition in photonics R&D decided to go for such a program. A team developed a curriculum for a photonics profile and implemented it as part of the “Bachelor in Systems Engineering”. In autumn 2018 the first bachelor students graduated in photonics and were ready for an industrial career. The next step on the education roadmap in Switzerland was a specific profile in photonics as part of a nationwide Master Program in Engineering (MSE) for bachelor graduates of UAS. Here again the momentum came from the Swiss photonics industry. The planning and implementation of this unique master program is currently underway and is scheduled to start in September 2020.","PeriodicalId":304941,"journal":{"name":"Fifteenth Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2019","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134176183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
