Teach & Learn
The NCN has a vision to redefine engineering education in materials, devices, circuits, and systems. We are inspired by the analogy to the Semiconductor Electronics Education Committee (SEEC), a group of 30 leaders in the field from both industry and university who recognized in the early 1960s that the age of vacuum tubes was ending, and that engineers would have to be educated differently if they were to realize the opportunities that the new field of microelectronics presented. SEEC eventually produced seven undergraduate textbooks and four films, and totally reshaped the teaching of electronics.
We are now at the dawn of what could be a new era in technology, but to exploit the opportunities that nanoscience is giving us, engineers will need to learn how to think about materials, devices, circuits, and systems in a new way--from the bottom up. Our nanocurriculum is designed to be a resource to the community and a model for new ways of educating engineers. We hope to have an impact in nanotechnology comparable to the impact that the SEEC had on engineering education and on the development of microelectronics.

Summer Institute
Summer Undergraduate Research Interns (SURIs) will join an ongoing cross-disciplinary research project team comprised of faculty and graduate students who have been working on research projects throughout the year. The program will provide the intern with research experience in a project environment.
