NACK has redesigned the workshop series formerly known as “Train the Trainer”. Two new Nanotechnology Course Resources Workshops have been designed to provide faculty and administrators with the resources needed to effectively teach undergraduate nanotechnology courses based on the NACK suite of six nanotechnology courses.
The first workshop Nanotechnology Course Resources I: Safety, Processing & Materials will be offered twice during 2011: May 2- 5 or alternatively September 19 – 22. This workshop will focus on the first set of courses in the 6 course suite: (1) Materials, Safety, and Equipment Overview for Nanotechnology, (2) Basic Nanotechnology Processes, and (3) Materials in Nanotechnology.
Each workshop will cover the teaching of three courses, using the NACK class notes and the corresponding set of labs. Background information for each of the courses will also be provided. The workshops will also cover the strategies for the conducting of the NACK-provided labs for the courses. We will also discuss the equipment needs for the labs, equipment costs, and sustaining costs. The various modes in which institutions may choose to present these courses and their labs will be examined varying from complete in-house offerings to web-augmented joint offerings with NACK.
It does not matter which workshop is attended first. They can be attended in any order to meet the needs and schedules of the workshop participants. This workshop is valued at $1,700. Applicants who are accepted will be granted a fellowship to attend the workshop which includes: workshop registration fee, breakfast/lunch, travel (airfare up to $750) and lodging.
