environmental monitoring.Unfortunately, even with all the growth in the photonics industry, there is a lack of appropriateeducational materials for developing a workforce for this growing industry. To date, the majorityof the training in photonics is conducted at the graduate level. Generally, photonics is taught as adistinct sub-field of electrical engineering or physics with very little focus on the engineeringconcepts necessary for the development of complex optoelectronic devices. In this paper, wepresent our efforts to develop knowledge and applications modules that are focused on theapplications of photonics engineering in technology (see Figure 1). Application

The same survey was administered twice to a classof 15 students, once during week 5 and again during week 14 of the 16-week semester. Thesurveys were completed during class on paper and were completed anonymously. For the 2-sample t-test, significance was set at 0.05.Results and DiscussionThe guided practice assignments were meant to prepare students for the group activities onlineand during the on-campus class sessions.
