Abstract
Currently in the United States as well as many other countries, the percentage of college students who are interested in science and engineering is decreasing. Can optics, being an area of physics which has so many applications to everyday life, be helpful to reignite student interest? In this paper we address problems related to this falloff of student interest and discuss their possible solutions. In particular, efforts are made to integrate existing techniques for general physics eduction into optics courses at the introductory level.
