Second Annual NCLT Faculty Workshop
August 6-9, 2006, California Polytechnic
State University
Event hosted by Materials Engineering Department, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA.
 |
 |
Faculty from community colleges and universities across the country (and Puerto Rico!) assemble at Cal Poly to learn and discuss teaching nano concepts in higher education. |
 |
 |
 Tom Mason of Northwestern University leads the workshop and displays the NCLT online Clearinghouse. |
 Ya-Hong Xie of UCLA educates and dazzles the audience with technical talks on“The Scope and Attributes of Nano-Science and Technology." |
 Greg Light of Northwestern University presents Learning Goals and Outcomes, Teaching Methods, and Assessment & Evaluation. |
 |
Denise Drane of Northwestern University discusses "Understanding Learning in the Nanoscience Context: Basic Research and Evaluation." |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Workshop participants identify and discuss the “big ideas” or major nano concepts in different disciplines that are appropriate for higher education (grades 13-16). | |
Presentations on teaching and learning of nano by faculty in the trenches:
 |
Teaching and Learning in Nanoscale Science & Engineering: What do K-16
Students Need to Know? |
 |
Small steps towards incorporating nano concepts in the undergraduate physics curriculum |
 |
Team-based learning in a nanotechnology course: Enhancing critical thinking through course
structure |
 |
Lessons Learned' from Creation and Execution of a 2-year Multi-disciplinary Nanoscience
Program |
 |
 |
Workshop attendees network and form collaborations while soaking in the California sun during breaks. |
