technology is the traditionalmethod of teaching, i.e. lecturing or “chalk-and-talk” method. Today’s students expect theirinstructors to create an active and engaged learning environment by delivering course contentusing more than one method (i.e. classroom lecture) so that they can access it from anywhere atany time. The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department of Morgan StateUniversity has implemented a new approach that requires all courses to use video recordings toprovide supplementary materials for both face-to-face (F2F) and online courses .

This has necessitated various skills to come together. In engineering, a new disciplinehas emerged which we call nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is purely interdisciplinary in itsnature. This is the need of the hour that we amend our conventional ways of dealing with thecontemporary problems and start thinking beyond the conventional ways. Nanotechnology is onesuch example where we have extended the boundaries of various engineering disciplines. This isreally important that the next generations of students are familiar with this revolutionary fieldand are motivated to pursue their education in
