In general,there exists a need to create sustainable nanotechnology modules within current engineeringcurricula and within required engineering courses. While many nanotechnology topics can beintegrated without much difficulty into materials engineering curricula, this integration is often achallenge in other engineering disciplines.

The Electrical Engineering (EE) faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville (UWP) believes that appropriately designed projects integrated into the curriculumprovides immediate applications of the theory and also expands students’ horizon regardingwhat kind of problems they will be dealing with in the real world after graduation.Furthermore, design projects help students develop their “soft skills” that are essential to besuccessful professionals.
