IntroductionEngineering programs have historically faced the major challenge of providing engineeringstudents with a solid foundation in written communication skills. In response, most engineeringcurricula include fundamental writing courses focused on developing and improving writtenperformance.

of every engineering discipline. One such fundamental concept ismolecular diffusion. Although traditionally a hallmark of chemical engineering education,historically, civil engineering education has presented diffusion concepts as a “just in time” toolto solve particular problems. However, a change in this presentation paradigm is necessary if thediscipline is to meet one of the major challenges of the 21 st century. It is anticipated thattomorrow’s employers will give junior engineers assignments that require an expandedexperience and knowledge base of such concepts so that they will be able to immediately relateto and work effectively within interdisciplinary engineering and science teams.

Thethree main goals of this program are to provide: 1) an intensive educational experience inpollution prevention for engineering students, 2) technical assistance to small businesses andindustries in Nebraska, and 3) research on complex pollution prevention problems. The technical assistance is delivered each summer by 15 to 18 undergraduate engineeringstudent interns and three graduate students.

Electrospinning is aunique method to produce nano/micro size (10 nm – 10 m) polymeric wires/fibers that consistof higher surface area, porosity and flexibility when compared to conventional techniques. Theobjective of this study was to reinforce electrospun nanofibers using multi-wall carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) and demonstrate the nanomanufacturing to undergraduate students in the College ofEngineering at Wichita State University (WSU). In the present study, we added MWCNTs in therange of 0.5%, 1% and 2% in a polymeric solution (polyvinylpyrrolidone dissolved in ethanol)and determined the concentration effects on size and morphology of electrospun nanocompositefibers.Keywords: CNTs
