At the same time, new dimensions of safety and ethical,social and environmental responsibility must be considered as nanotechnology based productsbecome more common. There is a need to create the next generation of competitive workforcewhich understands and appreciates the potential of nanotechnology. One consequence of therecognition of this need is the inclusion of Nanotechnology in undergraduate education. Severalacademic institutions not only offer introductory courses in nanotechnology in theirundergraduate programs but some, such as Lawrence Technological University, are taking thelead in creating minors and concentration in this field. The goal of these programs is to not onlyspark an interest

, the student would probably be looking at this conference from an engineering point of view. Taking an engineering oriented topic, like drones, and addressing it holistically should help the student expand their engineering identity to look at engineering problems from an ethical, historical, person based perspective.Developing Non-Engineering IdentityThis vector focused on internal and personal development. Identity is a particularly trickyconcept to define. Chickering defined identity as being secure in one’s sense of self; comfortwith one’s body, gender, sexuality, culture, and place in the larger community. Because of this,LGBT/Queer community seminars, as well as discussions having to do with relationships andsexual

short, the predominate interests behind the choice of minority engineering students were,predictably, math skill, love of science and family influence. However, the highest performingstudents were also motivated by good career opportunities (the “hunger factor”), the bent towardmaking and fixing things, and the desire to improve the world.Success in EngineeringThe second question put to them was “What does it take to be successful in your engineeringprogram?” The top three responses were (see figure 2): (1) Dedication and motivation, from 49.3% of students: “Dedication and motivation because there is a lot to learn and a lot to do;” “Commitment;” “Determination.” (2) Effort and hard work, from 31.3%: “It takes a very strong work ethic
