The preform is a macroscopic version of the final fibre geometry. Creating an optical fibre preform is the starting point in optical fibre fabrication. The preform is a macroscopic version of the final fibre design and typically could be 10-20 mm in diameter. The preform is fed through a hot furnace and pulled to fibre form with a thickness of about 1/10th of a millimetre; analogous to the way that hot cheese strands on your pizza get thinner and thinner the further you pull the pizza slice away from your mouth!

    THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING SPRING CONVOCATION MAY 13, 2017 Albuquerque Convention Center Message from the Dean To the Spring 2017 University of New Mexico School of Engineering Graduates Welcome to the Spring 2017 University of New Mexico School of Engineering Convocation. I am pleased this year to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating students. This day is the culmination of all of your hard work, dedication, and perseverance. We salute you and all those who supported you: family, friends, teachers, classmates, colleagues, coworkers, counselors, and advisors. This day could not have been made possible without their commitment. Thank you for participating in their lives and sharing in their accomplishments. Today is also a special day for me, as this will be the last time I will preside over Conovcation as dean. After 12 years, I am stepping down next month to transisition into a new phase of my life, but I am confident that great things are ahead for the School in years to come. I couldn’t be more proud of what our School has accomplished while I’ve been dean, and over our more than a century in exisitence. As our world has changed, the School has also expanded its mission to focus on becoming a powerful engine of economic and social development, fostering innovative ideas and technologies to better society. You have learned from some of the best in the field, and now it is your turn to apply the knowledge and experience you gained during your studies for the good of the state, nation, and world.

  • Engineering Futures 2035 Engineering Education Programs, Priorities & Pedagogies
    Engineering Futures 2035 Engineering Education Programs, Priorities & Pedagogies __________________________________________________________________________________________ Caroline Crosthwaite February 2021 Executive Summary The 2019 scoping study ‘Engineering Futures 2035’ commissioned by the Australian Council of Engineering Deans (ACED) investigated drivers of change, the anticipated nature of future professional engineering work, and engineering education programs that will be needed to produce fit-for-purpose graduates. Engineers of the future will require greater abilities to find and define problems before finding solutions. Both problem definition and solution will require a deeper ability to communicate and empathise with a broader range of stakeholders than has been required in the past. A greater focus on the human dimensions of engineering work and increasing complexity is also anticipated. Further details of the anticipated changes in the nature of professional engineering work and the capabilities that will be expected of future engineering graduates are provided in Section 1. The purpose of this report is to follow up on the ACED scoping study recommendation number 2 by presenting a critique of applicable developments in engineering education, referencing national and international best practice, and emerging educational models within the higher education sector. This includes identifying exemplary engineering education programs, program models, curriculum contexts and pedagogies that have the potential to support the delivery of the T-shaped engineering graduate and the greater breadth of graduate outcomes that will be required in future. Given the large engineering student numbers at many Australian universities, scalability, and possible barriers to widespread implementation of desirable changes are of particular interest. Consultation with national and international engineering educators and scholars collected views on program architectures, curriculum and pedagogies that will be instrumental in delivering on future graduate expectations.
