The undertaking was distinctive in that it was an engineering projectconducted at a liberal arts college by undergraduate students enrolled in the college’sengineering program. A multidisciplinary research team was assembled, composed of studentsmajoring in civil, chemical and mechanical engineering.It should be emphasized that this seven-week program was designed to serve primarily as alearning experience for the student researchers

fromelite to universal higher education and knowledge growth have significantly increased the cost ofhigher education while federal, state, and corporate support has not adequately responded to thisworsening condition. The Neal Report10 documented a number of quality problems inundergraduate infrastructure, a funding focus on graduate education and research, and a low-level of support for initiatives by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In response, the NSFstarted funding research experiences for undergraduates and created recognition awards for theintegration of research and education.

The outreach program for high schoolstudents has been designed to teach students nanotechnology along with other STEM subjects atthe Summer STEM Discovery Program. The principle aim of this project is to give students, atundergraduate level, a fundamental understanding of nanoscale science. Wentworth Institute ofTechnology has received multiple government and private funding to initiate an undergraduatenanotechnology education and the establishment of a nanotechnology laboratory. The laboratoryis used to supplement the nanotechnology courses, undergraduate research at senior levelsthrough senior design offerings, and for teaching across engineering disciplines. This

To reinforce this interdisciplinary approach, the course will feature a semester-long group project. The project will require students to research and present to the class on one particular application of nanotechnology, as well as the social, ethical and business implications of that application.
