The developmentof the scanning tunneling microscope and the subsequent introduction of the atomic forcemicroscope in the 80’s and 90’s are a further realization of Professor Feynman’s challenge.These two metrology systems enable the characterization and manipulation or both single atomsand molecules. The discovery of fullerene molecules and an elongated variant of them, carbonnanotubes, are further enhancing our ability to manipulate and measure nanostructures andatoms. Professor Charles Lieber and his team at Harvard University recently demonstrated anano-circuit fabricated from nano-wires that were placed using MEMS-type micro-channels2.The innovation successes reviewed above initially required the

Student Learning Objectives Students should be able to: 1a.) Translate a problem statement or a question into an appropriate experiment(s) to provide data that illuminates the nature of the problem and suggests solutions. 1b.) Successfully conduct the experiment and obtain the information/data desired. 1c.) Demonstrate the ability to select an appropriate representation of the data/information obtained from the experiment. 1d.) Successfully use necessary tools

The teacher serves as thefocal point for student learning, and his or her role in the classroom is that of dispenser ofknowledge and arbiter of conceptual disputes. The teaching-learning model could be describedas a wagon-wheel or star model, with all students (S) oriented to and dependent upon theprofessor (P) as the source of information and interactions.

In the meantime, the clinic team has exploredusing a Virtex II FPGA. The chip was simulated and verified with Electric and was tested to befully operational using the chip tester. It has been delivered to the clinic team.The projects have involved a combination of effort from the freshmen, the lab assistant, clinicteams, and the advisor.

restructuring National Research Council, NRC, in 1990.2 Chemical Engineering Education The courses for the chemical engineering have fundamentally changed in many universitiessince early 1900’s. This indicates that the chemical engineering education has been evolvingduring this period. Arthur Little stressed the concept of “unit operation” in 1915. This concepttook hold and became the central educational theme for a decade1. During 1935-1945 appliedthermodynamics and process control courses were added. Applied chemical kinetics and processdesign came to era between 1945-1955. After 1955, instead of unit operations, more emphasiswas given to engineering sciences such as momentum, mass and energy transfer. Professor OlafHougen shifted the chemical

The students were asked toanalyze the effects of the following changes on a section of the I-70 network:1. An increase in the free-flow speed from 65 to 70 mph on two major links on I-70 (82-84 and 89-87). This change can show the effects of a possible change in the speed limitsuch as what happened when the national speed limit law was repealed in the mid 1990’s.2. A change in the grade from 0% to 8% on the same links on I-70. This changeexamines the

In cases of two-person teams,where an additional teammate is not available to corroborate the student comments, the authorbelieves caution is necessary in adjusting grades. In two of the three cases mentioned above, theauthor agreed with teammate #2’s assessment. However, in the third case, the author felt thatteammate #2 was overstating their case and thus a grade adjustment was not warranted.IX. ChallengesStudents and faculty
