This book presents the perspectives of nanotechnology educators
from around the world. Experts present the pressing challenges of
teaching nanoscience and engineering to students in all levels of
education, postsecondary and informal environments. The book
was inspired by the 2014 NSF workshop for Nanoscience and
Engineering Education. Since nanotechnology is a relatively
new field, authors present recommendations for designing
nanotechnology education programs. The chapters describe methods
to teach specific topics, such as probe microscopy, size and
scale, and nanomaterial safety, in classrooms around the
world. Other chapters describe the ways that organizations
like NNIN and the NISE Network have influenced informal
nanotechnology education. Information technology plays a
growing role in all types of education and several chapters are
devoted to describing ways how educators can use online curricula
for teaching nanotechnology to students from preschool to
graduate school.
