| The Physics Department at NCCU has begun efforts to integrate nanoscience and nanotechnology into the undergraduate science curriculum. The goal is to strengthen and improve existing nanotechnology related interdisciplinary courses, intended for first year science students, by taking advantage of student feedback from earlier courses and the availability of new equipment and new facilities. As a result of these advances, we now have the capability to provide in house demonstrations of state of the art techniques, materials and equipment onsite at NCCU. Inclusion of a larger number of modern demonstrations of nanoscale research was the major request of students involved in the courses. These activities directly linked to ongoing research at NCCU increased the number and quality of students participating in research, an activity which has been shown to improve student performance and competitiveness. The new courses and research capabilities affect nearly two hundred students from all science departments. |
