Thoughthe specific content of the certificate is currently under development, the team puttogether what each level of the certificate could look like. Each level would include 4steps that would be required for completion. An outline of the certificate plan follows.Level 1In Level 1 of the certificate, faculty members will be asked to investigate and plan acurriculum change in one of their courses. Along with this, faculty members will beasked to crowd-source in which courses sustainability outcomes are being taught orintroduced. The goal is to keep in mind that these changes need to be

process, as illustrated in Figure 7. We generated our ideas byreviewing our curriculum's required course content and listing the most critical topics in theMaterials domain. In addition, we evaluated our existing material laboratory course content andsummarized the pros and cons. Then, we researched individual faculty research specialties in thedepartment, the NAE grand challenges of engineering [13], and daily engineering problemsstudents might be interested in. For institutes with existing equipment, which is different from ourcase, summarizing a list of existing equipment could be beneficial in the research phase. Aftergathering the above ideas and research results, we analyzed the data and connected the dots. Wefound brainstorming mind maps

all of them, and in instances, only pressures and temperatures were shown ondiagrams, not terms with units of power. Bejan 14 is an older textbook which does an excellent jobhighlighting conservation and account principles, but is limited in terms of its diagrams. None ofthe eight texts reviewed attempted a diagram of any kind for entropy and exergy.The limitations of existing textbooks in the thermal-fluid sciences in providing students withconsistent diagrammatic support to solve engineering problems has motivated the exploration of astraightforward unified approach to drawing these diagrams. With this in mind, the idea of using ageneralized accounting approach 15,16 to draw storage and interaction diagrams is explored in

[5]. To address these challenges,we advocate for the development of cost-effective nanoengineering and nanoimaging interactiveeducational systems. This approach enhances the overall educational experience, better preparingstudents to contribute to the progress and applications of nanoengineering across diverse fields.With that objective in mind, our focus was directed towards enhancing the instruction of theAFM. AFM is an indispensable tool for researchers and engineers in nanotechnology, offeringexceptional resolution in material visualization through the interaction of a tip with the surfacematerial [6–8]. Nonetheless, the images generated by the AFM may not accurately represent thematerial surface due to the existence of image artifacts
