This $599,889 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the "RET SITE: ATOMIC SCALE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FOR SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS" program at North Carolina State University. The program equips teachers with the knowledge, tools, and resources to effectively teach nanotechnology concepts to their students, including fabrication techniques, analysis methods, and real-world applications. Through immersive experiences in state-of-the-art research laboratories, educators develop unique curricula that they then share with hundreds of students, engaging them in innovative engineering research and advanced technologies. The program aims to inspire and prepare students for careers in the growing field of nanotechnology, which is expected to significantly impact diverse sectors like medicine, textiles, and electronics. By providing teachers the necessary training and tools, this award seeks to build a foundation of nanoscience knowledge that will be reinforced as students progress academically, ultimately growing the skilled U.S. technical workforce needed to address societal grand challenges.
