Optical Science and Engineering (OPSE) is recognized as an enabling technology: a technology with applications to many scientific disciplines and with the potential to contribute in significant ways to those disciplines. In this project, four of Texas A&M's bio-optics laboratory modules are adopted and adapted into NJIT's existing OPSE curriculum. Adaptation/ Implementation of these laboratory modules into various courses demonstrates the enabling capabilities of bio-optics. The four laboratory modules, which were developed by S. Rastegar and G. Cote (Biomedical Engineering) under their own CRCD program, are Simulated Laser surgery, Polarimetric Quantification of Chiral Substances, Measurement of Tissue Optical Properties, Fluorescence Spectroscopy of Physiological Fluorophores. These laboratory modules are adapted and implemented into the upper division undergraduate level (OPSE I and II, Physical Chemistry) and the lower division level courses (Modern Physics Laboratory and Freshman Engineering). In general, the challenge is to adapt and Implement these laboratory modules into a curriculum which is predominantly engineering and science oriented with very little presence in biological sciences. In particular, the Fluorescence Spectroscopy laboratory module is modified to simulate biological cellular transport without the use of live animals. The polarimetric laboratory module replaces an existing NJIT module on polarization rotation. In adapting this lab to NJIT, the students measure the degree of light rotation due to chiral substances such as D-Glucose. In adapting the Tissue Optical Properties laboratory to NJIT, the module is divided into two components: a simulated tissue samples component (absorbing dye and scattering spheres) which is adapted to freshman through junior level and a biological samples component (beef, liver, chicken breast) which is adapted to senior level courses.

光学科学与工程（OPSE）被认为是一种使能技术：一种应用于许多科学学科的技术，并有可能为这些学科做出重大贡献。在这个项目中，四个得克萨斯州A M的生物光学实验室模块被采用，并适应到NJIT的现有OPSE课程。将这些实验模块改编/实施到各种课程中，展示了生物光学的使能能力。四个实验模块，这是由S。Rastegar和G. Cote（生物医学工程）根据他们自己的CRCD计划，是模拟激光手术，旋光定量手性物质，组织光学特性的测量，生理荧光团的荧光光谱。这些实验室模块被改编并实施到上师本科水平（OPSE I和II，物理化学）和下师水平课程（现代物理实验室和新生工程）。在一般情况下，面临的挑战是适应和实施这些实验室模块到一个课程，主要是工程和科学为导向，很少在生物科学的存在。特别是，荧光光谱实验室模块被修改，以模拟生物细胞运输，而不使用活体动物。偏振实验室模块取代了现有的NJIT偏振旋转模块。在使本实验室适应NJIT的过程中，学生们测量了由于手性物质（如D-葡萄糖）引起的光旋转程度。在适应组织光学特性实验室NJIT，该模块分为两个组成部分：一个模拟的组织样本组件（吸收染料和散射球），这是适应新生通过初级和生物样本组件（牛肉，肝脏，鸡胸肉），这是适应高级课程。
