Abstract
Fibre optics is still a new and developing industry. Because of its expected growth, some thought and planning must be given in educating those workers who will be needed to sustain this growth. This paper reviews the history of educational activities that parallelled (and contributed to) the introduction of fibre optic technology. It describes the educational experiences of the the first fibre optic workers and the evolution that has seen fibre optic instruction grow to become an integral part of the curriculum of many leading educational institutions. An array of educational opportunities are described which are suitable for the novice and for the advanced practitioner. Guidelines are presented for designing a fibre optic educational program.
