Optoelectronic instrument experiments course: A trial of project-based learning

We describe a curriculum for an optoelectronic instrument experimental course. As one of the required professional courses for students who major in Measurement & Control Technology and Instruments, the Optoelectronic Instrument Experiments course aims to familiarize students with the principal concepts of optoelectronic apparatus design and train students to apply this knowledge, working in teams and individually, to identify, analyze and solve problems in optoelectronic system construction. The contents of the course consist of lectures and project-based experiments including systematic analysis, design and implementation. Optoelectronic systems from real engineering projects are chosen as experimental subjects.
