OneIntroductionProfessional internships are not a new concept to college and university programs.However, to require this experience in the form of a demanding, well designed andimplemented internship is a very time consuming investment, which will yield excellentreturns for your students and for your program. Students, both traditional and non-traditional, are given an opportunity to demonstrate, advance, and refine technical andsupervisory competencies learned in the classroom and in the laboratories. “Internshipsgive you on-the-job experience, help you learn whether you and that industry are a goodmatch, and can provide you with valuable connections and references.” 1Graduates with this type of resume-worthy experience have a substantial advantage overpeers with

With the senior college just a short bus ride away (1.4 miles), students in the joint/dual program have easy access to both campuses. This allows them to take courses at the senior college that are not offered at the junior college for a variety of reasons. These may include inadequate enrollment in specialized engineering courses, lack of specialized faculty to teach the courses, or lack of adequate teaching and laboratory facilities and equipment.

The length scales involvedare difficult to visualize, the products are invisible to the human eye and in most cases thefabrication and characterization of nano-scale materials are prohibitively expensive forhigh school science programs. Moreover, the inaccessibility of nanotechnology in theclassroom reduces the student’s experience to factual recall of a list of properties andadvantages of materials at the nanometer scale. This situation does nothing to alleviatethe perception that
