through a big transition of the programwith one professor retirement (founder of the program) and two new faculty members arriving.Our recent activities comprise following three major parts: 1) Expanded teaching laboratory, 2)Strong faculty/students research projects, and 3) Active SPIE student club. We are presenting theabove three efforts in this paper.1. IntroductionCalifornia Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) has one of the nation's largest primarilyundergraduate engineering colleges. The photonics program within the EE department began in1985. Currently, there are two senior elective lecture courses and one graduate-level lecture inthe photonics area. A 700 ft2 fiber-optics laboratory was introduced in 1986. This laboratoryserves dual

Each of theseinfluences is discussed below.Freshman Engineering Content: The freshman engineering course changed from a design,graphics and programming course to one that surveyed the various fields of engineering. This puta greater demand on the Design & Analysis class to teach the concepts of the design process,design for manufacture and cost estimation.Professional Skills: Course material was added to the lecture part of the

An initial pilot offering in the spring semester 2020 started out following this model butunfortunately had to change direction when the campus was shut down due to the Coronaviruspandemic.The mid-semester transition to remote learning was particularly difficult when students lostaccess to the laboratory equipment. Remote lectures were fine but student projects were greatlyhindered. For the remainder of the spring semester we sent custom hardware kits to studentscontaining a Raspberry Pi with an accelerometer add-on. With these kits students were able tocover much of the original course content but some of the key components (such as Linux buildsystems and

that semester.The only class to draw more students between 1999 and 2001 was a class on web page design,another very popular subject.There are several positive effects of teaching a popular subject. Students enjoy learning, andare excited by the enabling effects of their study. They tend to study more and are willing toinvest more time in their efforts. Students tend to remember more if they are convinced thatwhat they are learning is useful. There is less likelihood of cheating or copying other student’swork. And if there is copying, it is of the positive kind where both students improve in acompetitive manner. Hands on experience, like that obtained in a laboratory can increase thepopularity of a popular subject.Forazan’s popular text, Data

Nevertheless the development of online laboratories,which are based on real physically existing and remotely controlled equipment instead ofsimulations, remains a particularly challenging task.
