Inaddition, it has been essential in the development of new imaging techniques for biomedicalresearch, as well as in the development of new fabrication methodologies for electronics. Todate, these remarkable contributions to engineering have largely been ignored in theundergraduate curriculum in electrical engineering.Here, we present our efforts to develop educational modules for nanophotonics with an emphasison how the resulting technologies apply to sustainability and quality of life via devices based onnanostructures: e.g., solar cells, high efficiency lighting, environmental sensing, and other lowerpower optoelectronic devices.

Makerspaces are informal, opt-in STEM (science,technology, engineering, mathematics) spaces and are increasingly recognized for their potentialto increase student access to and engagement with STEM (e.g., Martin, 2015, Roldan et al.,2018, Wilkczynski et al, 2019).

Applications of power electronics therefore cover a widerange of appliances, tools, electronics that we use routinely in our daily lives. For example, manyappliances in our house use power electronics due to the need to convert from ac electricity to dcelectricity that operates the electronics inside these appliances. Even the latest energy savingLED light bulbs works because their ac input is converted to dc to run the LEDs

Students also figure out that there are multiple paths to ZED, depending on the mix oftactics. The process of conceptualizing sophisticated technologies as processes and systemsintegrates their knowledge base in environmental engineering, and provides a realistic basis forsetting and achieving the highest goals. Lastly, the students are prepared to
