Also,there are not any current overviews about all of these departments4. As many of the grandchallenges for engineering5 are highly related to optics and optical engineering, this critical bodyof knowledge will remain instrumental through the 21st century. Even the Popular Science6listing of the 100 innovations of 2010 includes many technologies made possible through optics.The only question remaining is how are people learning these critical technologies; in otherwords, what pedagogies are being used to train the innovators who will answer

According to the EPA, sustainability is “tocreate and maintain conditions, under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony,that permit fulfilling the social, economic, and other requirements of present and futuregenerations”(1). Sustainable engineering is a process of practicing engineering withoutcompromising on the quality of the environment. Sustainable engineering therefore utilizes amultidisciplinary approach of balancing social, economic, and environmental aspirationscombined with good practices of engineering design, thus closing the gap between technology andthe community(2).
