Minerals, Metals and Sustainability:Meeting Future Material Needs by John Rankin5 as the text.Based on lessons learned in the first offering of MATL 2210, the courses have since followed acommon format. The approach in the first offering of MATL 2210 was to survey the varioustopics and then have the students choose a topic to present in multiple formats (oral / poster /paper). This resulted in too much emphasis on the final project which came at the same time asassignments and examination in other courses. In subsequent offerings of this course, and in theother two courses, students were asked to prepare brief (usually one slide) presentations

advantage of this approach is that the students havea prior context to build upon. They can see how state-of-the art microelectronic circuits arecurrently designed while comparing and contrasting it with the paradigmatic shift offered bynanoelectronic devices. This juxtaposition of technologies is appropriate since a number ofproposed nanoelectronic circuits are built upon similar principles and topologies used in currentmicroelectronic technologies. This paper overviews the initial attempts at such an integration inan introductory digital integrated circuits course.

However, that concern is applicable only to class-level or course-level competitions.Intercollegiate competitions are not generated by an individual instructor/course director.Beyond this obvious difference, there are many other differences that the casual observer couldidentify, which make inferring greater learning-value seem plausible. Fortunately there is amodest body of evaluative work on the intercollegiate competition approach.Cooley et al.[6], evaluated a West Virginia University (WVU) capstone project in electricalengineering, where rather than a typical project, the students chose their work with the specificintent to enter it into an intercollegiate

Tools for Nanotechnology Process EducationAbstract –The cost of equipment acquisition, operation and maintenance often places severelimitations on an institution’s ability to introduce laboratory modules in nanotechnology courses.This is exacerbated by the larger class sizes and shorter class times at the undergraduate level(compared to graduate level). This is the main reason why nanotechnology is not taught at mostundergraduate engineering curricula. The goal of this project was to develop innovative and cost-effective methods to bring meaningful and sustainable nanotechnology laboratory experience tothe undergraduate classroom. Two major tools were developed to overcome the challenges – acomputer-based nanofabrication trainer, and a remote

This approach is furtherenhanced by parents who insist that students must be “protected” by the university or collegeagainst the negative consequences of actions taken by the students.
