In addition, there is no infrastructure for teaching nanotechnology; and thereare no university models and no textbooks to follow.Previous investigators have proposed an integration of the basic sciences in teachingnanotechnology courses [3]. However, they could not implement their plan [4] and did notinclude the engineering disciplines. In 2003, Loyola Marymount University (LMU) obtained aNational Science Foundation (NSF) grant to develop a new sophomore-level course thatintegrated the science and engineering disciplines along with ethics [5].

In the 1990s first-year design courses werewidely introduced in engineering programs in an attempt to introduce students to thenature of their chosen profession earlier in their college careers.5,6 Capstone designcourses at the end of engineering programs likewise represent an opportunity for studentsto take on both design work and a holistic real world project. However, design is notgenerally included as part of the curriculum in core courses in the second and third yearsof study. There is a critique that this bookending approach (with cornerstone courses inthe first year and capstone in the final year) can create a “valley

intriguing was the fact that even students that were awarded competitive academic scholarships (top grades and very high SAT scores) left their respective engineering programs after their first year, expressing anxiety with core engineering course (calculus) affecting their ability to maintain their required GPA and thus result in loss of their scholarship [4]. Consequently, there is a need to develop a first-year engineering curriculum that takes into consideration the diverse academic, social, cultural, and economic backgrounds of an incoming class of students. Although academically well prepared, today’s student lack the discipline to be individually responsible for the largely self-directed study required in college [5
