Nanotechnology is the abilityto observe, manipulate, measure, and manufacture things at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to100 nanometers. While the word nanotechnology is new and was introduced in the late 1970s,the existence of functional devices and structures of nanometer dimensions is not new, andactually such structures have existed on earth as long as life itself [1].The idea behind nanoscience and

,according to Burning Glass researchers (http://burning-glass.com), approximately 50% ofall high-paying jobs (>$58,000) require some level of computer programming skills.While computing and information technology fields are enjoying a rapid economicgrowth, the number of US students graduating from computer science (CS) and/or closelyrelated fields has not kept pace with this growth due to high attrition rates in CSprograms2. This problem is even more acute in minority serving institutions, particularlyHBCUs as reported in New York Times3 that the percentage of African Americanstudents graduating in computer science and engineering was only 6% of all recentgraduates.
