| Abstract |
The first day of the workshop, students heard talks on the four themes of NCN: nanoelectronics, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), nano-bio devices and systems, and computation/software. The leader of each theme presented a thirty minute talk to the students about research that is currently being done and what they hope to accomplish in the future.
NCN also conducted a usability survey for the nanoHUB.org Web site. The students had to complete a list of tasks requiring them to find information on the site, and they evaluated how easy/difficult it was to complete each task. Their comments were positive, but we did receive some keen insights into trouble spots, and some ideas of what we could do to make our site more user-friendly. For example, their comments led to a complete redesign of our built-in search capability. On the last day of the workshop, the students watched a seminar on public speaking. Soon, many of the NCN students will be defending their thesis and going out into the world. This seminar helped the students gain a better understanding of how to give a good scientific presentation.
Below is the list of speakers and their presentations. Most of these are available online at the nanoHUB.

NCN is working to develop a Student Leadership team. In April, we held our first NCN Student Workshop. More than 40 students from 5 universities attended this workshop, receiving an overview of what NCN is now, and prospects for the future.
Also on the first day, a representative from the Dean of Students office talked about leadership and team-building. The students participated in a fun activity to help them build teamwork and communication.
At the end of the workshop, the Dean of Students office worked with the students to learn what NCN could do to better serve them. We received valuable input from the students during this activity.Citations
