Advanced Electro-Optic Technology Curriculum for Navy Engineers and Scientists in Cooperation with NSWC-Crane
Abstract
University Research Initiatives (URI) The Navy is currently facing competition in the seas that has not been experienced since the cold war due the increased capabilities of aggressive nations and the availability of advanced technology in the commercial market. These challenges are emerging as the Navy is experiencing the retirement of senior personnel. Their departing knowledge is not always passed betweenworking generations. To combat this, the Navy must provide relevant and inexpensive, training to the incoming engineers and scientists that are going to bring about the next generation of technical advances.Penn State EOC shall develop a controlled and secure format for online course delivery structure that will facilitate the self-learning of complex technical topics and augment it with on-site training. This format shall be modeled after methodologies utilized by Penn State World Campus faculty and other successful online training tools. In addition, the effort shall include development of an administrative structure to monitor progress and seeking approval from Penn State academic units to provide a formal certificate and/or continuing education units (CEUs) upon coursecompletion. This development of a pilot program, focusing on electro-optics, photonics and fiberoptics, will be a cooperative effort between Penn State EOC and the Naval Surface Warfare CenterCrane (NSWC-Crane).
