nanotechnologyand the science fiction course read a couple of science fiction literature that used nanotechnologyas one of the main technologies. Lastly, the authors realized that as any technology develops,scientists and engineers ask questions to expand their research that start with “What if thistechnology could...?” Similarly, science fiction authors question current technologies and pushfiction by asking the same sorts of questions. These commonalities summarized in Table 1 ledthe authors to want to challenge their students to see and experience these common themes fromthe perspective of the other field to deepen their experience with the material. The goal was thata deeper experience would enhance student learning
