This evolution has influenced electricalengineering curriculums in both the key underlying device technologies and the applications thatare emphasized. It is apparent that we must stress the continuation of this trend into the opticaldomain with the resultant need for inclusion of optical phenomena, devices, and applications inelectrical engineering core courses as well as in selected devices.The growing importance of optics in applications indicates a strong need to incorporateoptoelectronics into electrical engineering curriculums.

In addition, it was foundglobal learners learned better in a global environment and sequential students learned better in asequential environment.

For example, some research hasfound that initial attitudinal differences are attributable to the students‘ gender and ethnicbackground and that retention is more linked to students‘ attitudes and perceptions than to theiracademic credentials. 12-16Regrettably, women and minorities remain underrepresented in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) education programs
