Principle and Design of Optoelectronic Instruments (PDOI) is a comprehensive engineering course set in the fourth year in School of Optoelectronics, Beijing Institute of Technology, China. After three years of study, the students have acquired basic knowledge in optics, mechanics, electronics, and computer science. They are ready to make a comprehensive application of the knowledge they have learnt in something really important. Like most engineering courses, PDOI needs practical section to help students understand how theories work in engineering. Thanks to the China International Exhibition of Lasers, Optoelectronics and Photonics which is held annually in Beijing, it offers a good opportunity for undergraduates to see advanced instruments with their own eyes. It is a wonderful extracurricular practice for PDOI. In this paper, we will introduce the exhibition-involved curriculum design and give the initial results.
