The Learn2Light project was created in 2005 by the late Phil Gabriel, an award-winning Canadian lighting designer who served as President of both the IALD and the IALD Education Trust, all while practicing from the same corner office in Ottawa from 1983 until his passing in 2014. His practice continues today, led by longtime partner Andrew MacKinnon, Associate IALD.
Learn2Light offers an overview of schools that offer diverse educational programs in design, engineering and science with a focus in architectural lighting design. These schools have a minimum of one instructor or professor who devotes the majority of their time to lighting design. Individual programs offer degrees at bachelors, masters or doctoral levels as well as certificates and minors in architectural lighting design. Degrees may be offered in the field of lighting design specifically or in other cognate disciplines including architecture, interior design or engineering.

Program overview:
The lighting program at the University of Kansas (KU) is located in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering (CEAE) in the School of Engineering. Today, the KU lighting program offers multiple lighting courses in electric lighting, daylighting, lighting design and lighting measurement in up to 27 credit hours. We currently offer B.S. and M.S. degrees in Architectural Engineering with a concentration in lighting. We also offer Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering with a concentration in building mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems, which includes lighting research. The KU Lighting Research Laboratory houses all necessary major lighting equipment and facilities in a 715 square-foot Henderson Engineers Illumination Laboratory and a 550 square-foot windowless Dark Room.
The lighting program at KU has a long history, can be traced back to 1980 when Dr. Ronald N. Helms, P.E., FIES started the lighting program at KU. In 1985, the Bob Foley Illumination Lab was opened in 232 Art & Design building at KU. Since then, Dr. Thomas Glavinich (1992 - 2014), Professor Lou Michel (1980s – 1990s), Dr. M. Clay Belcher (1990s - 2001), Dr. Martin Moeck (1993 - 2001), Dr. Hongyi Cai (2010 - present) have been full-time faculty members at KU’s lighting program. There were some other part-time instructors teaching lighting courses at KU as well, including Dr. Ed McBride (2003-2007), Mr. Bruce Yarnell from Yarnell & Associates who taught the capstone engineering design course for several times, Mr. Derek Porter from Derek Porter Studios and now Parsons School of Design who also taught Illumination Engineering and other unique lighting design courses.

Degree: Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Architectural Engineering, Master of Architectural Engineering (M.A.E.) Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Architectural Engineering, Master of Science (M.S.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Engineering.
Program Overview: Architectural Engineering (AE) is the engineering design of buildings. The BS/MAE combine to make a five year engineering accredited program. Students have the option to specialize in either the design of building structural systems, building mechanical and acoustical systems, or building lighting and electrical systems. The first three years are common to all three and include the same math and science courses common to all engineering programs. The intent of the AE program is to develop both breadth and depth. This is done by requiring the students to have a good understanding of all the systems that make up a building while also giving them a specialized education in their chosen option areas.
