Engaging undergraduate students asundergraduate teaching assistants is a common practice in higher education. In a freshman leveldesign course where creativity and open-ended problems are posed to students, we notice thatour UGTAs are appreciated by students (from an end of semester survey) and have positiveinteractions. This study builds on previous work by investigating how and in what ways UGTAsare effective in the classroom

The length scales involvedare difficult to visualize, the products are invisible to the human eye and in most cases thefabrication and characterization of nano-scale materials are prohibitively expensive forhigh school science programs. Moreover, the inaccessibility of nanotechnology in theclassroom reduces the student’s experience to factual recall of a list of properties andadvantages of materials at the nanometer scale.
