This frameworkdescribes optics education as an alignment of multidisciplinary perspectives for developing aninterdisciplinary field. Interviews were conducted with seven department chairs or otherrepresentatives of the programs to add additional depth and perspective about the programs’establishment as well as understanding the current status of the departments.II.
