The nanotechnology and STEM attitudes survey was a modified version of theStudent Attitude Toward Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) instrument developed bythe Friday Institute at North Carolina State [16]. The S-STEM includes scales on attitudes towards mathematics,science, engineering, and technology, 21st century learning skills, and STEM career awareness. For the purposes ofthis project, the mathematics scale was removed and replaced by a nanotechnology focused scale developed duringprevious one-week camps provided for high school students. The nanotechnology scale contains nine questionswhich were modified over its early development

Clearly, Web technology,however, will augment current student-to-teacher communication. Its primary instructional strength willbe self-paced review and instruction. Textbooks will produce hypertext companions. Efforts at completecomputer-based instructional programs, however, will not be advanced by the use of the Web.

For most students, realizing these advanced materials and technology is their firsttime. Therefore, it is a challenge to for students to understand the course material in depth. Inorder to overcome this challenge, experimental studies are introduced as part of the coursethrough an active learning platform. Overall, four labs are designed and conducted to investigatethe properties and performance of piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys. Theoutcome of the experimental studies is evaluated by written reports consisting of learningobjectives, experimental methods, results, and discussions. These lab

Embedded systems are used in a diverse range of products including home appliances, auto-mobiles, toys, and medical equipment. Embedded systems are located at the “front line” wheretechnology interacts with the physical world. These systems measure temperature, motion, humanresponse, and other inputs. They also control motors and other devices, and deliver informationfor human consumption.

as e-mail continue to have a very important role in the communication between studentsand teachers.What is supposed to be a solution or an improvement in some cases becomes a problem. In manyoccasions, the communication through these on-line technologies causes an excessive demand onthe teacher’s response capacity. This demand is even stronger in Distance Education, as it is ourcase where usually there is not face to face contact.We are developing an intelligent manager able to answer the students’ questions automatically,using the knowledge already available in e-learning platforms as dotLRN, Sakai, Moodle orWebCT; indexed in search engines as Google or Yahoo; in data repositories as Wikipedia or ininstitutional databases (Figure 4

FORTRAN was the basis of this course for manyyears.The current language of instruction is MATLAB for mechanical and civil engineeringtechnology students and C for electrical engineering technology students. The coursefocus for civil and mechanical students remains the solution of analytic problems.MATLAB was chosen because of its friendly programming environment, inherentlypowerful language elements and wealth of useful function and toolboxes.
