• And help schools create student competencies and outcomes to match those needs

Educator Hands On Workshops

Upward Bound

STEM night at local school

Minneapolis STEM

Outreach

Standing Rock Reservation (ND)Students and Parents

Impetus for the Nano-Link Conference

• Answer the questions of potential nano program students• Answer the questions of current nano program students

• What kind of companies are doing nanotechnology?• What are some of the different career paths?

What does a job look like?• Am I ever going to use what you are teaching me?

Agenda • Includes industry speakers

• What does their company do?• How does their company use nanotechnology?• What requirements do you have for technicians?

• Includes panels of program graduates• Where do you work and what is your job?• What surprised you the most when you started working?• What do you wish you had worked harder at in school?

• Student poster session and nano tools image content• PhD student presenting their nano-based research

Annual Nano-Link Alliance Conference: Since 2009

• Competency and Student Outcomes Definition

• Correlation to specific industry needs and job requirements

• Tutorials for educators: Working with Industry

What’s Next ?

NGSS/CC Alignment • Completed for 10 modules – in process of strengthening alignment where appropriate

Completion of Tier 2 (more complex) modules• Photolithography in a box• Water filtration using the Life Straw• Nanocrete• Critical Micelle Concentration and spectroscopy• Micro embossing• Encapsulation

Culturally Relevant Module ContentNative American – ND and MT (Sweat lodge abalone, rocks, porcupine quills)Hispanic – PR (in definition stage)

Sustainable Nanotechnology

SN has additional considerations to the NSF ATE “sustainability” aspect

ATE sustainability: Continue the project/activity without NSF funding

Sustainable nanotechnology: A 3 legged stool• Economic• Environment• Societal

• This provides multiple educational content opportunities• SNO

rev. 2011

First SemesterIn small groups students are asked to come up with a nanotechnology based product

They describe the product, its attributes, purpose, audience etc.Place these items on large poster boards in the classroom

As we progress through the semester –and discuss societal, cost, feasibility, regulatory, environmental and economic aspectsstudents keep going back to their product – to determine how well their productfits various (self determined) parameters

Also discuss how various aspects are tested and measured (use some SNO presentations)

Warning!!!! This can get ugly –some students are willing to sacrifice environmental issues for the potential benefit of the technologysome students will think the cost is too highsome students now think “it will never sell”

Societal Aspects

Not always technology based – Economic, regulatory

How does the public view science/scientists/engineers

IP protection – global aspect

Hype versus reality

What is our obligation to them? (ref. dmn IEEE Editorial 2003)
