The inaugural OptiPro U class consisted of 12 students from 9 different companies across the U.S. |
OptiPro held its first ever OptiPro U training course on Advanced Optical Manufacturing from August 16th to August 20th, and people left very satisfied with the training and hands-on experience they received. The course consisted of a morning lecture followed by afternoon lab, during which they were able to practice the techniques they learned on OptiPro's grinding and polishing machines and metrology equipment. The course was taught by OptiPro engineers Ed Fess, Jayson Tierson, and Dave Mohring.
The twelve students that participated in the course had numerous positive things to say when filling out their course evaluations, including the following statements:
"As always, you guys have been amazing with your customer service abilities."
"Lectures were a nice surprise as I didn't think I would receive so much historical and scientific background to optics."
"The instructors and lab personnel were very knowledgeable, approachable, and responsive to questions."
"It was an awesome experience. Very friendly and helpful people and wonderful technology."
"It didn't feel like a week-long sales pitch, but truly like a training program."
Students also gave OptiPro valuable feedback regarding the course, and these ideas will certainly be implemented when OptiPro holds their next OptiPro U course in March 2011. Among the suggestions given were:
"More hands-on experience by breaking up the class into groups of two or three during lab."
"More detail on K-ratio optimization and synchro-speed polishing correction."
"More focused curriculum for a more targeted audience."
OptiPro will continue to improve the OptiPro U training course each and every time it is offered with the help of our students comments. Those who attend the next OptiPro U class can expect an even more refined course than the one that was unanimously viewed as "a week well spent."
