without involvement of significant cost. The paper will address threedifferent fabrication processes that has been developed and implemented. These three methodsinclude (a) dispersing alumina particles using high energy mixing (using ultrasonication, highshear and pulverization), (b) electrospinning technique to manufacture and deposit nanofibers (c)X-Y Computer controlled spray technique to deposit single wall carbon nanotubes on the wovenfabric. This paper demonstrates limitless bounds of nanomaterials, as well as would eventuallyhelp to modify and strengthen the existing engineering curriculums in materials, manufacturing,and mechanical and engineering technology.Nanocomposite Fabrication Methods(a) Dispersion of nano alumina particles2

” 1. Joseph Lowman in Mastering the Techniques of Teaching, statesthat “college classrooms are fundamentally dramatic arenas in which the teacher is the focalpoint, like the actor or orator on stage” 2. What better way to break the monotony of informationtransfer than a good story. Papadimitriou has recognized three main ways of using storytelling inthe teaching of a technical subject: (a) providing historical/biographical context to a subject, (b)illustrating a concept by a story, and (c) embedding educational material into a story 3. Thispaper provides examples of storytelling in a Materials Science class and student reactions to theclass. The paper is intended to serve as the starting point of an audience discussion during thepresentation

Furthermore, although the NC-LSAMP project is still ongoing, it has the potential to significantly impact the retention andgraduation rates of underrepresented STEM students. This project will have a positive impact onthe number of underrepresented STEM students who enroll in the graduate programs.5.
