LIGHTING

Lighting Technology
Education in the 21st Century
By Autum Casey and Todd Proffitt
Lighting educators have an opportunity
to reexamine how they teach lighting
technology. The days of teaching the
same way you were taught in the
classroom are over. Trends in education
have changed, university budgets are
tight, faculty loads are increasing, and
more importantly, the technology is
changing almost daily.
