The Department of Physics and Optical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has served as an educational outreach partner with the National Science Foundation sponsored engineering research center, Lighting Enabled Systems & Applications (formally Smart Lighting) for the past eight years. As part of the center, we developed educational materials on smart lighting, developed and taught lighting courses and workshops for both high school teachers and college students, and produced several short educational videos with students on lighting and general optical engineering topics. In this paper we will give examples of research and technical projects that were completed with students, discuss instructional materials that were developed, and describe the content of lighting and optics related educational videos.
