• W322559919 abstract "The growing prevalence of nanotechnology makes it increasingly importantthat nanotechnology becomesan integral part of all STEM Education. Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted where on dimension is 100 nm or less; this includes assembling nanoscale structures into larger materials. One nanometer is approximately the size of single sugar molecule, 1/100,000th the diameter of a typical human hair, or half the diameter of a DNA helix. At the nanoscale, size and shape are key determinants of properties. Some people believe that nanotechnology education is often considered to be only suitable for graduate, and perhaps, undergraduate students. This is similar to the historical view that only these students could engage in engineering activities. Now, engineering is a key part ofthe Next Generation Science Standards and it is recognized that even kindergartners can perform some level of engineering design (Rogers, 2012). Similarly, everyone including children, undergraduates, graduate students, teachers and the general public can benefit from, and enjoy, learning about nanotechnology. However, for STEM educators to embrace teaching nanotechnology they need to know the answers to twoguestions: 1) Why should nanotechnology be part of STEM Education?, and 2) How can nanotechnology be incorporated into STEM nanoeducation?There are multiple reasons why nanotechnology should be incorporated into STEM education. First, modern nanotechnology's impact has been predicted to be comparable to the invention ofthe automobile or personal computer. Global nanotechnology research is on the order of $9 billion per year and expected to lead to major advances in medicine, transportation, environmental engineering and consumer products (Nanotechprojects.org, n.d.). In fact, nanotechnology is already a part of everyday life. In 2007, $60 billion in nanotechnology-related products were sold. Nanotechnology provides performance properties to consumer products ranging from sporting goods, to low volatile organic compound (VOC) emission paints, to advanced electronics. This number is expected to rise to rise to $150 billion, or 15 percent of total global manufactured goods, by 2015 (Nanotechprojects.org, n.d.). Therefore, educating students in nanotechnology is critical to both the realization ofnanotechnology's potential and thestudents'future employability. In fact, the development of a skilled nanotechnology workforce is one ofthe key goals ofthe National Nanotechnology Initiative (National Nanotechnology Initiative, n.d.). In modern society, science literacy is an important component of being an enfranchised citizen and consumer (Lane, 2003). Therefore, nanotechnology education is important even for students who do not pursue STEM or nanotechnology related careers.Second, nanotechnology has become pervasive in pop culture. It is featured in everything from children's cartoons such as the Disney Channel's Phineas and Ferb, to science fiction novels such as Michael Creighton's Prey and Robin Cook's Nano. It is important that average citizens, as well as the current, and future STEM workforce, have the knowledge to distinguish fact from fiction. As with many technological advances, responsible development of modern nanotechnology reguires careful consideration of both the potential benefits and the potential risks. Nanotechnology education is important for scientists, engineers, corporations, policy makers and the public to make rational decisions about potential positive and negative implications of our recently found ability to work at the nanoscale.Third, nanotechnology education includes simply conveying the most current knowledge of our natural and physical world. While our ability to understand nanoscale and exploit nanomaterials and nanoscale phenomena is relatively new, nanotechnology has existed throughout history. Many of the greatest examples of nanomaterials are found in nature. The beautiful iridescent colors in many butterflies and beetles are the result of nanoscale structure, not pigments. …" @default.
