His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence.

Nanotechnology has already dramatically impacted our lifestyle through a varietyof innovative products and technologies. Some of the recent applications of nanotechnologyresearch are in the areas of drug delivery, advanced materials for defense and aerospaceapplications, improving energy efficiency, water purification and green technologies. Whilesome of these applications are already proven, resulting in cost savings or improvements inefficiency, others are still in the research phase. Research in nanotechnology is underway in facilities around the world. India, though ahuge

research experience as part ofan undergraduate engineering education. Every engineering curriculum includes a culminatingevent, usually a senior design project. Most curricula include some opportunity for independentor small group research, even if it is only limited to a literature review on a specific topic.Another research opportunity available to most undergraduate engineering students is anindependent study course. Research is also an important experience for undergraduate studentsconsidering going on to graduate school.There is a great deal of literature describing the value of undergraduate research, especially forscience and engineering students.

The lowenrollment and retention of students in these disciplines raises concerns about the impact of thecurriculum and teaching methods being practiced in these courses. Some of the recent efforts toattract a larger student pool to these disciplines are (a) creating an awareness of the impact ofmaterials science and manufacturing in our lives, to kindergarten through K-12 students (b)inviting students to attend Open Houses where the prospective students learn more about thesecourses, the student’s involvement in the research

In the firstthree years of the curriculum development (2013 - 2015), an introductory SW lab utilizedtutorials native to SW. Students completed the tutorials in a computer lab with help from theinstructors and teaching assistants (TAs), and then they practiced their new skills by creating apart according to the information provided in an ASTM standard. In 2016, a new SWIntroductory Lab was developed specially to teach the student the key tools and features that theyneed for labs and the design project. The students were also instructed to learn on their own withresources such as
