-instruction assessment reveals promising learning outcomes. Group 1 students scored anaverage of 55% and Group 2 students scored an average of 96%. The software is scalable, andthe developed controller costs ~$150 — as opposed to thousands of dollars for a traditionalhaptics controller — making the activity feasible for a range of teaching labs. The workpresented in this paper suggests that haptics and visualization can serve as useful tools to teachchallenging nanotechnology concepts, thereby making the field accessible and attractive to abroader range of students.1. IntroductionNanotechnology is a rapidly growing research segment that has applications in a variety ofindustries including semiconductor, medical, and consumer electronics

Internet technologies have advanced to the point where they can be usedeffectively to conduct on-line automated assessment of many aspects of student performance inengineering curricula. Combining these technologies with software he has created, the authorhas developed a system that is capable of replicating many features of traditional, manualperformance assessment. The system also has a capability to evaluate problems not havingunique solutions, typical of those problems assigned in design classes. Commercial systems that provide on-line assessment capability include Blackboard(www.blackboard.com), InternetQuiz (www.familyeducation.com), Quizzer(www.pmachine.com/quizzer), WebAssign (www.webassign.com) and WebCT(www.webct.com).
