    1. Introduction to Nanotechnology Course Overview NANO51

    2. Course Overview Goals and objectives Week by week Assignments Course website / ETUDES Hybrid venue Your instructors STEM approach

    3. Goals and Objectives Learn what nanotechnology is all about Build out your nano vocabulary Understand STEM of nanotechnology Apply nanotech principles to real world See the vision of nanotechnology

    4. Week by Week (1-6) Nanotechnology overview The Atom our central nanostructure Materials and structure in nanotech Nanoelectronic devices Nanofabrication techniques MEMS and sensors

    5. Week by Week (7-12) Surfaces and thin films Materials characterization Quantum technology Nanobiotechnology Cleantech Final thoughts

    6. Assignments Weekly writing / midterm Forums postings / sharing articles Back-of-the- envelope calculations Technology assignment Nano project assignment Extra credit as applied to your goals

    7. Course Website / ETUDES http://www.informaticus.org/nano/ Your roadmap to the course Weekly pages with links and files ETUDES website for assignments See the link in week one and main page Where you submit your electronic files Make posts to the forums

    8. Hybrid Venue Students may be enrolled in online and possibly physical course sections* All students have ETUDES accounts Physical venue is seminar only You may attend lectures anytime You submit assignments in ETUDES * This may change after week one

    9. Your Instructors Neha Choksi Stanford Nanofab / MEMS engineer Neha_Choksi@stanfordalumni.org Robert Cormia Materials analyst / surface scientist rdcormia@earthlink.net We are team teaching both sections

    10. Nanotech Certificate Submitted for approval in fall 2005 Formally approved in summer 2006 A dozen+ courses in engineering dept. Possible technical collaboration at partner institutions SJSU, UCSC extension, Stanford (SNF) Ask us for more information!

    11. Our Philosophy Nanotechnology is new, and not new! We have been working at the atomic scale for over 100 years (more or less) STEM approach is our nano compass Science, Technology, Engineering, Math We are building out a new course and a new approach youre part of this work!

    12. Summary First nanotech course offered by FHDA Introduction to nanotechnology principles Survey of nanotechnology applications STEM approach to each course topic Scenario based introduction to each topic Team taught by real nanotechnologists Science and engineering, plus technology!
