Abstract
The authors describe how the conventional undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum can accommodate, and be enriched by, an infusion of optical-related subjects. Some combination of the following is recommended: incorporating material on photonics into existing electrical engineering core courses; offering photonic electives for undergraduate electrical engineering students; offering photonics options (well-defined curricula for students wishing to specialize in photonics) within existing electrical engineering or physics departments; and developing independent degree programs in photonics
