The objectives of the educationprogram are to : i) to cultivate an interest in nanotechnology as a field of study among collegestudents; ii) to cultivate the next generation of graduate students in nanotechnology; iii) to add tothe skill set of active nanoscience researchers; iv) to create students

Thus,more attentions are needed to explore the reason behind those situations and to provide possiblestrategies for both students and engineering staff to optimize current PBL design and improvestudents’ learning experience and outcomes.In this pilot study, we adopted both focus group and individual interviews to collect qualitive data.Though limited data we had, we still see the difference between these two data-collecting methodsbased on researchers’ self-reflection and data analysis. In the case of the focus group interview,students in one group could inspire each other when answering the interview questions. For example,when they were asked more abstract questions like “in

better prepare students for the 21st century.BackgroundCurrent indicators are worrisome. The most recent international comparison study doneby the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 2007, showedthat math scores of U.S. 4th and 8th graders have increased but science scores haveremained unchanged since 19957. The National Assessment of Education Progress(NAEP) reported in 2006 that while science learning among fourth graders increasedsince the survey was last administered, this was not the case for students in grades eightand twelve8. These results were partially due to teachers lacking the content knowledge,pedagogical knowledge, and experience to teach the subject, lack of coherence in pre-service and professional

For, if academic success can be achieved, thenumber of students defecting or being dismissed from the engineering program would decrease.Some researchers have recognized that social integration is also an important factor to academicsuccess.10, 19-21Social integration within a classroom allows peer-to-peer interaction. Students are able to buildsocial capital, which “consists of social networks, habits or cooperation and bonds of reciprocitythat serve to generate benefits for members of a community.”10 Students are willing to shareinformation within their network, issues out of the class and issues in the class.

It can be further stated that existing employees, through either undergraduate or graduate studies can also further their education and make themselves more valuable to their employers. This being said, universities want to provide their students with practical experience so that they are better prepared to start their careers. Business, likewise, wants students with relevant knowledge thereby reducing training time.It is for these reasons, and others, that the amount of University/Industry collaborations haveincreased in the last ten years.

At the high school stage, the educational pathways are primarily categorized by ‘STEM’vs ‘non-STEM’, either for choice of subjects studied in high school, or by the choice ofpostsecondary majors. However, at the postsecondary education stage, pathways are defined bychoice of engineering disciplines and persistence in an engineering discipline till completion.
