| We are developing a number of laboratory experiments as part of a coordinated effort to introduce nanoscience and nanotechnology to undergraduate students at James Madison University. The development of experiments is a collaboration between faculty and undergraduate research associates. Laboratories are being designed to be inserted into both the core chemistry curriculum (general, inorganic, organic, analytical, biochemistry, physical chemistry) and a new upper-division lecture/laboratory course called “The Science of the Small: An Introduction to the Nanoworld.” We will provide pre-implementation information about the laboratory content and the philosophy of these activities. A pre-implementation assessment indicates that our students have a deficiency in their understanding of matter on the nanoscale. We will discuss how course activities are designed to enhance student comprehension of nanoscience. |
