AC 2007-387: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF NANOTECHNOLOGYMahbub Uddin, Trinity UniversityRaj Chowdhury, Kent State University Page 12.683.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Environmental Impact of NanotechnologyIntroductionThe emerging field of Nanotechnology is leading to a technological revolution in the newmillennium. It could revolutionize the way our society manufactures goods, generates energyand cures diseases. Nano scale materials are currently being used in consumer goods,computers, electronics, information and biotechnology, aerospace, defense, energy, medicine andmany other sectors of our economy.

Paper ID #5940Educational Innovation in a new Online Sustainable Systems EngineeringMasters Degree Program through Cross-Campus CollaborationMrs. Marty Anne Gustafson, University of Wisconsin, Madison Marty Anne Gustafson is the Program Director for the University of Wisconsin’s Master of Engineering in Sustainable Systems Engineering degree. Gustafson previously directed aerospace and military 3D online training systems and commercial product development for Orbital Technologies Corporation. Her work experience also includes Cummins, Inc. and ABB Automation. Her teaching experience includes graduate courses in the
of interest.Activities in a first year EVEN course were modified over time to better demonstrate howenvironmental engineers help solve energy problems in an effort to try to improve the retentionof these students.General Information on the Program at the University of ColoradoAt the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU), all first-year engineering students are required totake a 1-credit introductory engineering course. Students generally select the course associatedwith the major in which they are enrolled: Architectural Engineering, Aerospace Engineering(ASEN), Chemical & Biological Engineering (CHEN), Civil Engineering (CVEN),Environmental Engineering (EVEN), Electrical and Computer Engineering, or MechanicalEngineering (MCEN).

residential summer camp for high school studentsinterested in STEM fields. The camps were organized into instruction on electronics and lasers,nuclear and medical physics, computer science, and environmental engineering which supportedthe aerospace, nuclear energy, and biotechnology industry clusters, the State of Texas hadpreviously determined as being essential to the future economy of Texas. To be eligible to applyfor the camp, a student had to be between the ages of 14-21 and have just completed the 9th, 10thor 11th grade from either a Texas high school or be home schooled with a curriculum found to beequivalent by the University Admission Office, be a U.S. Citizens or non-resident eligible towork in the U.S. and be in compliance with the U.S
