Fabrication process is the key element of nanotechnology and currently only graduatestudents get hands-on-experience with these processes. These concepts should be madeavailable, through simple lab exercises, to K-12 and college level students as well so that theinterest for this emerging field evolve at an early stage and once these students reach at thegraduate level they have enough taste and expertise in this area that they can play an active roleand can be more productive in their work.

mathematics have always been taught. Technology, in the sense of instructional tools, hasfound its way into some places and not into others, and most STEM educational efforts reallyexclude engineering. More recent conversation has centered on so-called I-STEM, or integratedSTEM, with the implication that the four involved subjects are not stand-alone but really havesome interdependencies. Some groups want to use the term STEAM to officially recognize theimportant role of the arts. What is needed going forward is not a debate on semantics, but a trueparadigm shift in education. This is the role that engineering can play in K-12 and beyond, usingknowledge and experience to solve problems.The state of North Carolina has had a history of leadership in

Additionally, nanoscale phenomena provide a way to integrate engineering anddesign tasks into the secondary classroom (for example, through a lesson on self assembly thatasks students to evaluate multiple factors in designing a model of a self-assembling system).Integration of engineering into the secondary curriculum can be a challenge, particularly withinthe context of rigid traditional curricula.Any major development in secondary education

Integration into thecollege environment plays an important role in students feeling a sense of belonging on campus,and ultimately in their decisions to persist. Racial and ethnic minority students who areintegrated into the college environment through various means can find supports such as friendswith similar backgrounds, advice from advanced students, and role models and advisors, whichcan positively influence academic performance.

Beyond the problem of high attrition rates of Latinas in engineering and computerscience, the researcher sought to understand how Latinas respond to the culture of engineering,which drives many students away. To further understand how the engineering culture cancultivate or dissuade Latina persisters, it was most beneficial to invest in students whosuccessfully navigated and persisted in the field of engineering, rather than to focus on those whodid not persist in engineering.As an engineering administrator, the researcher felt it necessary to demonstrate an

A conceptualmodel differs from the formal structures of hypothesis testing in the sense that it is exploratory innature. That is, it looks to uncover any existing relationships between the considered variables,based either in theory or in empirical evidence, instead of testing the magnitude or direction ofhypothesized relationships 15. Our model proposes that students entering an engineering programmay already have certain levels of global competency, and that these potential differences arecritical in designing strategies and interventions at the college-level. In our model, these baselinelevels are influenced by
