Inthe first NanoCORE project, we focused on introducing nanoscale science and engineering intothe undergraduate curriculum through short teaching units, which we refer to as “nanomodules,”within existing courses. Students also had opportunities for more in-depth nanotechnologytraining by enrolling in technical electives and participating in undergraduate research. Theprogram has made a noteworthy impact on our undergraduate educational content andexperience.2 With the NanoCORE II project, we have extended the program by expandingstudent-learning opportunities to include additional hands-on and laboratory activities.

Thehypothesis being tested was that providing students with the opportunity to engage in hands-ondiscovery-based activities, offering experience in laboratory environments, allowing them toconduct undergraduate research, and offering mentorship as part of a community would helpstudents develop a strong self-identity in STEM and strengthening their self-efficacy, and hasadded value to students of different background.

In education, theintegrated approach transforms analytical solutions from equations on paper to dramaticallyillustrated solid models. Students can also use simulation to cross check analytical results. Whenused in the weekly homework assignments of a Solid Mechanics course at the Thayer School ofEngineering, students spontaneously questioned and discussed solution discrepancies. They weremotivated to re-examine their analytical methods and to question assumptions in simulation. TheCAD environment and simulation is in effect a digital laboratory for students to test solutionswith numerical experiments. The students

Although themost common form of summative assessment is the final examination, some instructors structuretheir courses in units, and do a summative assessment after each unit. In that model, each unit ofthe course is essentially a self-contained mini-course.Midterm exams are frequently used for both summative and formative purposes. For example, ina course having two midterm exams and a final exam, the midterms may each be used todetermine ten to twenty percent of the final grade (while the final exam, laboratory scores,homework, and other items determine the remainder of the grade).
