Title：Introduction to Optical Engineering and Photonics
Class Hours/Week: 1.5 - 0 Credit：1.5
Category：Elective
Category：Physical Optics
Audience：Undergraduates
Teaching manner：CADTeaching
Course objectives and basic requirements:
The recent technology development in optical engineering and photonics and the globalization of hi-tech industry have challenged students in two fronts: they are required to show not only strong technical skills and knowledge in the specific area, but also affluent English language and communication skills. The course, Introduction to Optical Engineering and Photonics, is designed to help students achieve the above goals.
The course will cover the basic theory of the domain in optics and photonics, and provide a survey of the most recent developments in these areas. English will be the primary teaching and learning media for this course.
