The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education Institute
presents:

Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 4 PM
Hasbrouck Lab, Room 138, University of Massachusetts Amherst

"Nanoscience Education: New Approaches to a New Subject"

Mark Tuominen
Dept. of Physics, University of Massachusetts
Co-Director, Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing

We live in a dynamic, three-dimensional world. Shouldn't we teach in the
same way? The NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center at UMass
Amherst (the Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing) has a mission that
includes the design, production and delivery of curriculum materials in
nanotechnology. A major component of this effort includes the creation of
modular and re-purposable digital videos that include a mixture of real
video and 3D animation to convey a clear understanding of complex topics.
The goal is to develop curriculum that can more effectively represent
real-world concepts in nanoscale science and engineering. The development
is performed by a team with a comprehensive set of experience and skills.
Also described is the open source paradigm by which these materials are
delivered and improved.

The program begins at 4 PM; refreshments at 3:45 PM.
Parking available at the Campus Center Garage.

Next talk:  May 6, 2008, Stephen G. Sireci, Educational Policy Res. &
Admin, University of Massachusetts, "Educational Testing:  The Good, the
Bad, and the Ugly Unanswered Research Questions"
