AB  -          Hands-On Active Learning in Fiber Optics Course   The course “Introduction to Fiber Optics” was offered as a three-credit senior electivecourse in the School of Engineering at __________________ University since 2008. Forthe first two offerings, short active-learning exercises were incorporated. Feedback fromstudents showed that these learning exercises were effective ways in learning fiber opticsand more hands-on learning materials were desired. In 2012, a course change proposalwas approved to change the credit of the course from three to four. The course wasrevised to include hands-on learning modules.   This paper will describe in detail the development of learning modules and assessmentresults from the 2012 course offering. Three approaches were incorporated in activelearning: design, simulation, and build. Eight lab activities were developed to introducestudents to the basic skills of handling optical fibers, characterizing fiber opticcomponents, and analyzing single-channel fiber optic communication systems.Simulation software “OptiPerformer” was used to explore different fiber opticcommunication systems. Students designed a silica single mode optical fiber to meet therequired dispersion properties using MATLAB for their mid-term project. For the finalproject, a long-haul optical transmission system was designed.
