The education system for optical design and assembly can be done by integrating the optical design program with expert system and stock lens kit and test equipment through microcomputer and digit optical bench with Robot vision system. Student set up the lens set according to their ideal and calculation to build up the optical system in optical bench make the design more real. The student learning optical knowledge by two ways: the learning by doing (Rote learning) and learning by being told. The level of information refers to the degree of generality. After input the datam and question the program answers the student the conclusion about the goal the subgoal, shows how it reached the conclusion by pring out the rules. Student can keep asking explanations. The explantation help the student to get all the full understanding of the system’s reasoning process as well as to debug the error of the knowledge base.
