✦ Synopsis


The center will train educators to introduce nanoscience and engineering into school and undergraduate programs. It create modules for grades 7-12, initially focused on materials science and engineering. "Our modules will emphasize the role of nanoscale properties and structure in determining the behavior of the substances that drive our technological society," explains Chang. Expanded versions of the modules will be targeted at community colleges and undergraduate institutions and will eventually form the core of a semester-long nanotechnology course. The course materials will be field-tested and evaluated at sites across the US.
