Engineering Education, 2007 Introduction of Nanotechnology into Fundamental Mechanics Classes: How to Think Small in a Good Way!AbstractCalls for engineering curriculum review to increase effectiveness and relevance have been madeby both industry and university communities over the past decade. When considering thefundamental engineering courses in Statics, Dynamics and Mechanics of Materials it is importantthat the traditions long associated with these courses do not stand in the way of improving theirrelevance by inclusion of technological advances. This paper will discuss an approach andpropose some examples that can be utilized to introduce the latest arena of technologicalresearch, nanotechnology, into one of these
