INNOVATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN NANOENGINEERINGAbstract: Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) is establishing a new master'sdegree program in nanoengineering. The program will be highly interdisciplinary, drawingexpertise and resources from various disciplines from two universities North Carolina A&T StateUniversity and University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Master of Science in Nanoengineeringis designed for students with strong backgrounds in either engineering or science who seekadditional specialized education and training to qualify them for positions in the field ofnanoengineering or nanotechnology design, research and development, or manufacturing.

These units are often called the academy or center for excellence inengineering education (A/CE3); their primary objectives are to train newer faculty and supportteaching innovation in engineering lecture/lab courses. There are student consultant opportunitiesone can apply for and participate, these roles exist within the A/CE3 structure largely due to thedocumented effectiveness of students in providing faculty feedback (as

This is especially true of the Engineering isElementary (EiE) curriculum for grades K-8. EiE’s mission statement is “fostering engineeringand technological literacy for ALL elementary school-aged children.”16 The EiE curriculum issponsored by the National Center for Technological Literacy and is hosted by the Museum ofScience, Boston. Through curriculum development, research, and teacher professionaldevelopment, EiE disseminates engineering design-based curriculum for life science, earth andspace science, and physical science.
