We've started our unit on optical engineering by meeting Omar in Egypt. Omar is troubled by the fact that he is not the lead in his school's play. Always a part of the background, he feels camouflaged into the less important parts of the play.
Everything changes when there is a brownout that causes a loss of electricity. The entire lighting system for the play goes down. Using what he knows about light, its properties, and how different materials react with light, Omar just may solve the problem using the engineering design process. Can he actually become a standout in the play?
Key Vocabulary: optical engineer, system, reflect, absorb, intensity, refract, diffract, engineering design process
