engineering technology in the United States that educates students to step intocareers in the new Green Plastics Manufacturing Technology field.One of the most important subjects in engineering and technology programs is manufacturing.Manufacturing involves a complex system of materials, machines and people. Most subjects ofthe curriculum in manufacturing focus on teaching the fundamentals of current materials (i.e.,metals, ceramics, composites, and petroleum based plastics) and processes; however, fewprepare students to work with a broad range of new/future materials, particularly green materials(such as, green nano-materials, biodegradable polymers, and ecofriendly-hybrid materials) inadvanced manufacturing technology.

Further, theprincipal investigators will use the lessons about processes of curricular change gained from theFC experiences. As a result, many engineering students will become better acquainted with thepossibilities offered by nanotechnology, and some engineering students will gain an in-depthunderstanding of nanoscale manufacturing processes.The envisioned curricular change has four
