objectives: to aid the students' professional development by addressingissues such as the ability to critically evaluate technical papers, conduct effective literatureresearch, and express information orally and in writing and to identify at least two current topicsin optoelectronics research.Several innovative pedagogical techniques were integrated into the course to address lifelonglearning and contemporary issues. Students explored an area more deeply by conductingliterature research including a paper and a presentation on a topic of their choice. Topics rangedfrom organic LEDs to photonic crystals. In Spring 2003, the last fifteen minutes of each Fridayclass was devoted to “Fabulous Friday” where one student led a discussion of a recent
