This series of two free workshops were created to provide post-secondary faculty and administrators with resources (labs, presentations, etc.) and guidance to effectively teach undergraduate nanotechnology courses. The workshops will also cover the strategies for conducting the NPDP-provided labs, as well as, equipment needs, costs and sustaining costs. The various modes in which institutions may choose to present this material and their labs will be examined varying from complete in-house to web-augmented joint offerings.

These workshops do not need to be taken in sequence, but both are required for participants to be eligible to attend one of four NPDP sites for a hands-on workshop.

The Nano Curriculum Materials I workshop will focus on: materials, safety and equipment overview; bottom-up manufacturing and bio-nanotechnology; and deposition. The workshop will be held on four consecutive Friday sessions beginning on April 6, 2018 (April 6, 13, 20, and 27) from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. EST. For more information, visit the workshop website (http://www.nano4me.org/workshops). Applications are due March 23, 2018 and can be found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdw6gspEkKu3qxDYmuPGIvQyLIn9qnxpc3U632erdFuovIiKw/viewform.

The Nano Curriculum Materials II workshop will focus on: etching; patterning and lithography; and nanocharacterization. The workshop will be held on four consecutive Friday sessions beginning on May 11, 2018 (May 11, 18, 25, and June 1) from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. EST.
