NUE: NanoTRA- Texas regional alliance to foster nanotechnology environment, health, and safety awareness in tomorrow's engineering and technology leaders

Abstract

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: NanoTRA-Texas Regional Alliance to foster 'Nanotechnology Environment, Health, and Safety Awareness' in tomorrow's Engineering and Technology Leaders", at Texas State University-San Marcos (Texas State) is a collaborative project with the University of Texas (UT) at Tyler to develop introductory and advanced curricula that address the 'nanotechnology safety issues' that include social, ethical, environmental, health, and safety issues of nanotechnology. The curricula will be modular in nature, suitable for use either as two full semester courses that will be taught online at the UT at Tyler or for insertion as separate modules into undergraduate engineering, engineering technology, and industrial technology courses at Texas State. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2014.
