Elba Serrano, NMSU; Boris Kiefer, NMSU; Vicente Lombrana, NMSU-Alamogordo

This project is funded by a CCLI Phase I award (#0633736) from NSF DUE

This project involves development of a state-level educational network that unites faculty at research universities and faculty at community colleges in a shared teaching enterprise around the common theme of the integration of nanoscience into biology and physics classes. The project participants include faculty from a diverse set of 4 year institutions and community colleges in New Mexico, as well as researchers from national laboratories.

2010 NMNEN Workshop Nano(bio)science Workshop Scheduled for August 2010

-07/19/2010-

Title: "Nano-Ed-Materials Workshop"
Date : 08/09/2010
Time : 9am-3:30 pm
Where: Albuquerque Marriott Pyramid

The goal of the one-day workshop is develop a repository of nano(bio)science educational materials that can be made available to educators in 2- and 4-year colleges. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring teaching materials to share with other educators. The materials may include but are not limited to: powerpoint slides of lectures and research seminars, in-class exercises, lab-handouts and exercises, newspaper articles on nanoscience that will stimulate student interest, and course syllabi. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their contributions. The workshop materials will be assembled after the workshop and made available to the participants at no cost via CD. Faculty, students, postdoctoral fellows, science writers, and government laboratory scientists are encouraged to attend. The workshop is free and lunch will be provided. Participation is limited to 35 on first come basis. To reserve a place, please register online.
