Freshman learning community on Photons!

Details here. A quick synopsis:
Although light is as old as the universe, it is only a century ago that light was understood as a particle: The Photon. Since then, the photon has been at the heart of our modern life, from the internet to space exploration and one possible future source of renewable energy. This community will explore the past, present and future of the photon and its impact on our lives. This FLC would be of interest to students interested in exploring Electrical Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, or Physics.
