activitiesdeveloped to teach nanotechnology concepts to upper level students. The activities not only provide aninexpensive, tactile approach to understanding nanoscience concepts but also include aspects of practicalapplications, correlation to traditional science and engineering disciplines and avenues for criticalthinking and problem based learning. Each topical activity has several versions that allow tailoring of theactivity and content to the education level of the students. Many of these modules have been used forseveral years in high school and college classes with positive results and improvement in studentunderstanding and interest in science.Introduction:The Advanced Technology Education (ATE) Program within the National Science Foundation

literatureArticles in the literature on faculty mentoring in engineering or engineering technology are rareor non-existent. There are, however, numerous articles which indicate that a well-planned andexecuted mentoring program for new, young faculty will make an important contribution to thesuccess of the individuals and thence to the success of the institution. Queralt’s article citedbelow provides strong support for the notion that mentorship is good.College and university faculty and administrators in the state of Florida were surveyed byquestionnaire, and Queralt (5) reported the results. The 287 questionnaire responses weredivided into two categories – respondents who claimed to have had mentoring and respondentswho claimed to not have had mentoring

Design Lessons Learned While working with Bergkamp Inc. we were able to utilize concepts and knowledgegained from the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program at K-State Salina and apply themto a real-world problem. However, in order to tackle the design problem we needed to learn agreat deal more about the properties of propane and how it reacts to the different heated scraperdesigns. We did multiple tests with different nozzle outlet sizes along with different diametersand lengths of combustion chambers before finding the correct one that created the flame patternwe were looking for. As a result, it was not until after we found the correct flame pattern that werealized how the heated scraper was to be designed.Conclusion Our
