because we spent time on it. b) Like the way the medical school author from School C designed slides for non-biology majors c) The TA’s helped a lot with the understanding of this section d) The material I this section I found to be of ease. I do understand the complications of connecting this info to following section from an educators’ point of view. The quiz and exams are based on this section and I don’t believe enough emphasis is present in the lectures. Maybe this could be tweaked, so that the oral connects more with the slides and what we should have to know for our edification. e) Great teacher! This is the most clear of all the lectures. After her explanation everything became clear, she made

automotive applications. To make the leap from the research laboratory to new products, and thus new jobs,requires an educated and well qualified workforce that comprehends simultaneously (a) theinterdisciplinary principles of nanoengineering with the understanding of the unique andenabling properties at nanoscale and their associated nanoscale engineering and scientificprinciples (b) the implications that nanotechnology holds for not only revolutionizing thematerials and products used in daily life but to see nanotechnology’s promise for entirely newclasses of products as well, (c) the skill set required for managing the nanoengineered materialdevelopment, processing, design and nano-manufacturing procedures and (d) the ability tocommunicate

consistent with recent studies of “How People Learn”(2,3), Here Donovan, Bransford and Pellegrino argue that “To develop competence in anarea of inquiry, students must (a) have a deep foundation of factual knowledge, (b)understand facts and ideas in the context of a conceptual framework, and (c) organizeknowledge in ways that facilitate retrieval and application” We argue that our early introduction of literature searching and reading reviewsand original articles centered around a simple hypothesis provides opportunity to initiatefoundation knowledge construction, that the conceptual framework of writing inproposalformat provides a focus for the student to demonstrate “understanding of facts and ideasin the (research) context”, and that the
