Abstract

There is a strong need for well-educated nano electronics device design engineers and therefore K-12 STEM teachers’ training efforts are essential to meet future nanotechnology challenges. A group of three teachers are recruited through the NSF funded Research Experiences for Teachers. The group has investigated the characteristics of Electrospun Carbon Nanofibers (ECNFs) for bio-sensing applications. Nano-electronics have the potential to impact everything from computer processor to television displays to cell phones as well as have a major impact on the U.S. economy. So this research investigates the impact of the nano-electronics educational research on K-12 curriculum.
