Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EECE) in the School of Engineering, the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Educational Specialties in the College of Education, and the Department of Individual, Family, and Community Education in the College of Education at the University of New Mexico (UNM) have jointly developed a comprehensive plan for a new B.S. degree in Optical Science and Engineering, with emphasis on education in the field of photonics, accompanied by teacher training and enhancement of K-12 optics education initially at the high- and middle-school levels, and eventually reaching down to the elementary school level in the implementation stage of this program. Specifically, the plan incorporates development of a new college degree curriculum, creation of new laboratories, development of courses training K-12 teachers in optical science and engineering, creation of outreach programs, identification and activation of sources of support for minority students, and involvement of local and national industry and government laboratories.
