As a result, allparticipants in the focus group improved their knowledge of nanofabrication as well asincreased their enthusiasm to learn more about this topic. This initial result shows that theeducational materials being created here are an effective medium for introducing thenanofabrication topic and is an opportunity to excite the next generation of nanofabricationstudents.ConclusionsThe need for workers with knowledge in nanofabrication is a must for the semiconductorindustry to keep growing at the predicted pace.

Creativity is a cornerstone of engineering disciplines, so understandingcreativity and how to enhance creative abilities through engineering education has receivedsubstantial attention. Fields outside of engineering are no stranger to neuro-investigations ofcreativity and although some neuro-response studies have been conducted to understandcreativity in engineering, these studies need to map the engineering design and conceptgeneration processes better.

open desktop space for drawing/assembling [14].There appears to be a consensus that a standalone intro-freshman engineering course shouldcontain a mix of lectures, labs, and discussion [4, 16–18]. One strategy is to begin the coursewith several-weeks-worth of general modules focused on problem-solving and using computers,followed by shorter (student, self-selected) discipline-specific modules [19]. The discipline-specific assignments reinforce themes presented in the generic module. “Discussion” modulescan center on softer-skill topics like how-to-register-for-courses, how-to-study, and careerawareness. “Labs” are more technical; they can address problem-solving using mathematics(e.g. matrices, plotting) and computer tools (e.g. Matlab
