Undergraduate Nanobiotechnology Laboratory Experience at Worcester Polytechnic Institute Jianyu Liang1 and Terri Camesano2The development of nanotechnology is driving a new wave of innovations and creatingopportunities. One of the most promising areas of nanotechnology R&D is in human health care.The merging of biotechnology and nanoscience holds great promise for large-scaleimprovement of life and society. The next logical step is to connect these disciplines ineducation of scientists and engineers.In 2011, faculty at the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering atWorcester Polytechnic Institute introduced a Nanobiotechnology Laboratory Experience classfor sophomores

estuaries to explore thenatural development of these resources as well as the influence of human activities on theenvironment. The course is offered during a three-week long session between spring andsummer semesters that we refer to as the Maymester. Instructors from engineering, forestresources, soil science, and geology jointly teach the course along with guest instructors fromother disciplines. The students come from diverse backgrounds (generally science-oriented) witha mix of graduate and undergraduate students as well. The emphasis of the course is on hands-on, experiential observation and learning in the field. General learning objectives for this cour seinclude: 1. Develop and understanding of the relationships between geology

Session 2793 Neoclassical Active Learning Approach for Structural Analysis Julio F.Davalos, Christopher J.Moran, Shilpa S.Kodkani West Virginia UniversityAbstractMost beginning students in an introductory structural analysis course do not appear to have asound understanding of fundamental concepts, and in general, students lack the ability tovisualize the deformed shapes of simple structures. One possible reason for this learningdeficiency may be that the classical lecture-mode of teaching by itself may not be sufficient forstudents to grasp basic concepts, and a more active classroom

Other initiatives may also be assigned tothose emanating from within the academy. Necessary impetus were from those who aredoing what leaders in any organized enterprise should be doing- asking questions ofpurpose and performance such as: What are we trying to achieve? How good a job are wedoing and how do we know? These are simple but penetrating questions appropriate toany sector of our national life and certainly no less important for all Educationalinstitutions including colleges and universities. Contemporary commentary within andoutside the academy makes clear that the quality of American schools

Retaining Women Engineering Faculty – What Do We Know? Linda R. Musser, Pennsylvania State UniversityA recent ASEE Profiles survey reporting on percentages of engineering faculty by rank andgender found that women engineering faculty numbered less than a quarter of all engineeringfaculty in every rank. It went on to speculate that the overall number of women engineers inacademe were unlikely to change in the near future. Why is this the case? Are women engineersnot choosing to pursue academic posts? Are those that do not being retained? If so, why? A2011 study by Mason found that women who planned to have children opted out of the tenuretrack pipeline at research universities in favor of careers that they

These properties have been employed as newplatforms to control, confine, and enhance light-matter interactions in the nanostructures at thesubwavelength level. Besides their lightweights, the simplicity in designing, and well-establishedfabrication process, compared to their three-dimensional counterparts (metamaterials), metasurfaces areof great interest in serving in a variety of real-life applications, such as lenses, imaging, sensing, beamsteering, and solar energy harvesting.
