| We describe the development and implementation of nanoscience laboratory, lecture and literature topics which have been seeded throughout the undergraduate chemistry curriculum in support of the NSF Nanoscience Undergraduate Education (NUE) site at James Madison University. An overview of the evolutionary changes to the chemistry curriculum as a result of the NUE program will be presented. Lecture topics in general, inorganic, organic, materials science and physical have been added or improved and laboratories for general, organic, physical, and biochemistry are being developed and implemented. Literature topics have been introduced into materials science, physical chemistry lab and literature and seminar courses. We will further describe how laboratory experiments using supramolecular micelle structures are being used to introduce nanoscience in several different classes. Student and faculty perceptions about nanoscience and how JMU is addressing changes across the curriculum will be presented. |
