nanomaterial disposal (e.g., transport in waste environments, healthconcerns).BackgroundApproaches to undergraduate nanotechnology educationThere have been worldwide efforts to insert nanotechnology education in the undergraduateengineering curriculum, ranging from single courses on nanotechnology to nanoengineeringtracks within a curriculum.1,2 Full-scale academic undergraduate programs in nanotechnologyengineering have also been created.3 To ensure institutionalization of nanotechnology education,Crone et al.4 promote the incorporation of nanotechnology concepts through the use of well-designed educational modules into established engineering and science courses that are integral
duringengineering design processes and project management; (3) Strengthen educational practicesthrough the development of activities to communicate the role of self-regulation in design toengineering educators and students. At present time, the project has successfully completed thefirst two objectives; however, the qualitative data analyses are not yet finished. Moreover, ateaching guide and workshop to strengthen engineering design practices by promoting the role ofself-regulation to engineering educators and students are currently developed.1) What is Self-Regulation?

Focus Group Design In support of our efforts to evaluate engineering program improvements and to develop aresearch agenda alongside students and industry representatives, our project’s evaluation teamdesigned and implemented a focus group study. Through a process of collaboration, wedeveloped a focus group protocol in alignment with our conceptual model (Figure 1) and two ofour evaluation goals: 1) to improve students’ workplace-relevant skills in engineering/engineering technology to enter industry jobs; and 2) to develop a pathway for students to earn a certificate or degree, transfer to
