Engineering Education, 2006 The LASER CULT: Hands-on Laboratory in PhotonicsIntroduction: Challenges in Teaching OpticsThe unique nature of the field of optics creates challenges for effectively teaching optics inengineering disciplines. Harnessing Light, a study by the National Academy of Sciences1, pointsout that “Although optics is pervasive in modern life, its role is that of a technological enabler: Itis essential, but typically it plays a supporting role in a larger system.” To enable the teaching ofoptics in science and engineering program the study identifies two issues that need to beaddressed when designing programs that teach optics: “How to support and strengthen a fieldsuch as optics whose value is primarily enabling” and

environmental education of schoolchildren as well as in planning environmental science courses for engineering degree students.IntroductionAlthough one may argue that industrial production and technological progress have broughtabout the present day environmental crisis, it is the lack of social awareness and moralconsciousness with regard to the environment which hold the clue. The resolution ofenvironmental questions involves not only direct measures of political, social, scientific andtechnological nature but also actions dealing with the ethical and moral attitudes ofindividuals and the society as a whole. Environmental education is considered as an essentialinstrument towards creating a new universal ethic and consciousness in favor of

Such is the case with functions, limits, derivatives, complex numbers,curve families, differential equations, etc. No wonder so many people are confused by the natureand, in particular, the reality of mathematical concepts.What should We be Doing?Teachers in technological disciplines should be emphasizing the reality of the objects and 4techniques of mathematics and engineering. The definitions of mathematical objects lackreality and need to be assessed. The algebra/calculus

Math was implemented, notas rote memory and use/re-use of given formulas, but as a form of project-based learning; as thelanguage of science, technology, and engineering; and, as a place of critical thinking anddiscovery [8].Because the theme of the camp was sustainability, the authors titled the first math activity “TrashMath.” To begin the activity, seven participants and six instructors formed three groups of fourto five individuals and collected roadside trash at three sites near the TMCC campus.
