Nanotechnology really does impact a wide range of industries. You may be under the impression that it is limited to electronics, but it actually spans across many different disciplines. The food industry is another sector that is very interested in how nanotechnology can improve current production methods. Traditional fabrication methods, along with new techniques in self-assembly, are being applied to food processing. Food scientists and engineers are working to improve nutritional content and delivery, packaging, and the ability to track and monitor products over time.
NACK Center staff will give an overview of how nanotechnology is impacting the food industry by providing some examples of recent advancements in this area. Current research will also be discussed to bring some insight into where the future of food processing may be heading. You may be surprised to learn that the food industry is already taking advantage of these modifications based at the nano-scale.
Now in its 31st year, ISTE's Annual Conference & Exposition features an amazing array of professional learning and collaborative networking opportunities.

The School of Engineering is pleased to announce an exciting paid summer research opportunity for teachers, the Joule Fellows – Teachers in Sustainable Energies Research Laboratories program. The Joule Fellows program (JFP) is funded by the National Science Foundation. One unique feature of this program is that it requires at least two teachers from the same school to participate. JFP is intended to provide teachers of science, mathematics, and/or technology subjects with a rare opportunity to gain valuable hands-on laboratory exposure to ongoing research in sustainable energy areas such as biofuels, renewable fuels, fuel cells, energy storage devices (including photovoltaics) and other green energy technologies, as well as related fields.
Each participant in the Joule Fellows program receives a total stipend of $5,000, continuing educational units and a certificate of participation. The most important benefit, however, is the knowledge you will take back to your classroom. Our faculty members and grad students will work with you and your colleague to develop experimental setups and curriculum modules for your students that will both engage them and enrich their learning experiences.
Engineering is a little-taught discipline in the secondary school system nationwide. Consequently, when compared to the existing opportunities, relatively few students select to pursue an engineering education in college. Yet engineering incorporates nearly all of the core science and math subjects taught at America's high schools.
To help post-elementary schools integrate elemental engineering into the classroom, we developed the da Vinci Project geared toward math, science and technology teachers of grades 5-12.
During the July 6 - 9 program, participants will spend an exciting week at the Storrs campus learning engineering fundamentals and developing practical curricula and exercises that will help them expose students to engineering. Participants will help select their focused workshop from one of the five areas of engineering specialization.
Participating teachers are very excited to go back to their classrooms and discuss how chemistry, physics, biology, and/or math knowledge and skills are integrated into solving challenging real-world problems... it's called engineering!
This course is an introduction to concepts and techniques of creating and manipulating images through electronic and digital means , creating Gif animations as well as image preparations for Web using Adobe Photoshop CS4.
