AB  -     Development and Implementation of a Comprehensive Nanotechnology               Fundamentals Lab for Engineering Students                                             AuthorsAbstractNanotechnology findings and products have exponentially increased in the last decade withoutany parallel development in workforce to support this increase. The gap between supply ofskilled workforce and demand in nanotechnology is expected to continue in growth for a while.This paper describes efforts to help in bridging this void of workforce through the developmentand implementation of a comprehensive lab component for educating an interdisciplinary classof engineering and science students at the junior level. The course is introduced as part of alarger plan to bring nanotechnology into undergraduate education. The approach followed in thislab development is unique since it aims at providing the students with a comprehensive set ofhands-on skills and practical knowledge that will enable them to expand and work in the field ofnanotechnology, in as many directions as possible. The lab includes eleven separate activitiesdivided into four categories. These categories include: 1) Applications of nanotechnology, 2)Synthesis of nano products, 3) Hands-on training on nanotechnology tools and equipment, and 4)Safety in the nanotechnology operations environment, particularly the clean room. This lab wasimplemented as part of a course entitled: “Fundamentals of Nanotechnology,” at__________________ University _______ School of Engineering (SOE) during the springsemester of 2010. Sixteen students from multiple engineering disciplines were enrolled in thiscourse during its first offering. Objectives of the course and lab were developed previous to theoffering and outcomes were assessed during and after the offering. In particular, the lab part wasdistinctly assessed and the results were evaluated. This resulted in action items and conclusionswhich have already been integrated in the next offering for continuous improvement. The nextoffering is planned to take place during the spring of 2011.
