Professional Development Opportunities
LASER-TEC strives to help educators stay abreast with the technology development and applications. LASER-TEC hosts training for college and high school educators in the areas of photonics, lasers, and fiber optics.
A course in lasers can be added to revive any electronics, engineering technology, manufacturing, or industrial technology program. Laser is the tool that daily transforms the 21st century industry. Femto-second lasers are used in medicine for non-ablative surgery and in micromachining to make medical stents and drill holes with smaller diameters than the human hair. Lasers attached to robotic arms do the majority of industrial welding, cutting, and drilling on metals or plastics. A course in lasers and their applications can modernize your program and increase your enrollment.
Fiber optics is another technology that has matured and is making its mark in the 21st century. Aside from telecommunications, where the optical fiber has created today’s Internet with the ever increasing demand for bandwidth, fiber sensors are used in medicine, in structures like bridges, sky-scrapers, and ships to detect the most minute structural changes. In the last five years the fiber laser, a laser using a specially doped fiber as its active medium, has taken the industry by storm, replacing older type lasers because of its lower cost and size, and higher reliability. A course in fiber optics can modernize your program and increase your enrollment.
