Abstract
In this work, we present an optics modular course with a strong emphasis on hands-on training with state-of-the-art elements in free space. We provide a list of the equipment required as well as the learning outcomes for modules in specific laws of light phenomena like reflection, refraction, polarization, and interference. These kits could be used for more advanced teaching and training of engineers, making a very versatile set of equipment to be used for diverse audiences. We will also present the experience of the first cohort of a technician program with a diverse background and their feedback. This proposed course will promote in-demand skills for advanced manufacturing in the optics and photonics industries.
