It is predicted that by 2020, nanoscaleengineering will bring about mass applications in industry, medicine, and informationtechnology.1 As a result, a growing number of scientists and engineers with the ability to createinnovative designs using nanotechnology will be required. This is creating an urgent need forcurriculum enhancements right now in STEM education. This paper focuses on the impact thatnanotechnology will have in the area of microelectronics, one of the main economic drivers ofthis information technology age. The ability to shrink electronic devices down to submicrondimensions has made possible Very

Some of these applications include not only wirelessnetworking using such protocols as WiFi, WiMAX, and ZigBee, but also such applications aswireless sensors and RFID as well as the familiar personal communications systems. In fact, theInternational Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) shows that RF and “wirelessapplications may replace computers as the key driver in manufacturing”1 over the next 10 years.Electrical engineering departments can expect increased demand to provide well educatedengineering professionals to address this increase in the need for RF and wireless engineers.

The ERC brings physicians,biologists, engineers and educators together to develop microelectronic systems that interact withliving, human tissues. The resulting technology enables implantable and portable devices thatcan treat presently incurable diseases such as blindness, loss of neuromuscular control, paralysis,and the loss of cognitive function. The researchers focus on mixed signal systems on chip, powerand data management, intelligent analog circuits, interface technology at the nano- and micro-scales to integrate microelectronic systems with neurons, and new materials designed to preventrejection.

profession [16]. Rather than being primarily seen as somethingthat someone is (as is the case for most social identities), this definition sees engineering assomething that someone does [16], [17]. Thus, many studies show that undergraduateengineering students associate engineering with specific cognitive, affective, and performancevariables [16]. For example, research has found that professional identity was closely connectedto competence in technology adoption, scientific thinking, and professional knowledge, and thatstudents see engineering as a way of thinking about and using math, science, communication,and problem-solving [18], [19]. In this conception of engineering identity, competence stands outas a significant factor—it acts as a bridging
