Update the National Precision Optics
Skill
Standards for Technicians
The National Center for Optics and Photonics Education
(OP-TEC) (www.op-tec.org) has the responsibility for maintaining
the relevancy and currency of the National Precision Optics Skill Standards
for Technicians (NPOSST). Through this e-mail, we are requesting that
you assist us in meeting this responsibility.
If you are a Precision Optics professional, please go to our
NPOSST technical review page
http://www.op-tec.org/2012potreview. At
this link, the NPOSST is presented along with a secure survey
where you can review and comment on the standards accuracy in
defining the required skills technicians must possess to successfully work
in today's precision optics industry. This survey should not take more
than 15 minutes to complete.
If you are not a Precision Optics professional,
but know of professionals in this industry, please forward this
communication to them.
OP-TEC originally developed the NPOSST in 2009 and received endorsements
from the American Precision Optics Manufacturers Association (APOMA),
Florida Photonics Cluster, and Rochester Regional Photonics Cluster. These
standards are being used throughout the U.S. to establish curriculum for
educating precision optics technicians and for assisting precision optics
companies in hiring and evaluating these technicians.
Your input is very important to keeping these standards on target and
ensuring the U.S. technician workforce in the precision optics industry
stays competitive with its world competitors. Your input will be
reviewed and used in developing the next generation of these standards.
