In addition, the grant provided support for the pedagogyclass in the form of a stipend. This support will not be tenable after the grant period. Fortunately,the university has recently implemented the construct of a “non-credit” course for high-impactexperiential learning.

Typically, graduate students (even those with teaching assistantships) lack the experience of designing educational activities, as these are usually designed by senior instructors/faculty members, whereas teaching assistants are only responsible for the implementation. This training will provide graduate students the educational training that they will need as they progress in their careers, especially if they plan to secure an academic job.(iv) To develop a multi-platform nanotechnology educational app—i.e., an app that will be able to run on
