The paper also assesses specific character and professional attributes, stereotypes(profession-, ethnicity or gender-based) and attributes known to facilitate viewer's identificationwith on-screen characters, of engineering professionals portrayed in selected films. In particular,the key research question of “How are engineer(s) and their work portrayed in the feature films?”was broken down to more detailed sub-questions: • What types of engineering work are represented? How is creative component of that work shown? How successful (or unsuccessful) are the outcomes? • Is the distinction between science and technology, and scientist and engineers depicted? • Are

Our first activity for enhancing nanoscience andnanoengineering education was to introduce simple concepts of nanoscience and technology intoexisting required undergraduate engineering courses. These modules covered the core conceptsof nanomaterials and unique phenomena at the nanoscale. Introducing the concepts ofnanoscience and engineering at this early stage of undergraduate education was found topositively impact student interest in registering for a technical elective nanotechnology coursethat we developed as our second initiative.
