The salient featuresof the process are mentioned as follows: • Minimum requirements for instructional activities: In order to ensure the consistency and quality of online education, the school has developed specific guidelines regarding minimum standards for course development, design, and delivery. • Learning Outcomes: The design of the instructional activities (i.e., the use of technology/multimedia) is dictated by desired learning outcomes rather than the availability of existing technology. • All of the instructional materials are reviewed by the program chair(s) to ensure they meet the program

Furthermore, Germantechnical universities, especially the earliest one in Karlsruhe, were models for MIT,Cornell and Stevens.26 The chemical laboratory of Justus von Liebig at the University ofGiessen dates to the 1820’s and 1830s13; indeed one of Liebig’s American students, EbenN.

Both the lab tours and Nanotechnology Teaching Modules provide a bridge from thestudents’ hands-on lab activities and their associated assignments to the current research andpioneering efforts in the field of nanotechnology. In the absence of components in either the labtours or Nanotechnology Teaching Modules, one type can be used to supplement an area inwhich the other is lacking, however a balance between them is recommended.Research StudiesAside from
