Fall 2007 Nanoadvisor Overview

FEATURE ARTICLE
	A Knowledge Base for NSE Education Two new groundbreaking publications are aimed at beginning the process of articulating a knowledge base for nanoscale science and engineering education. Addressed are current initiatives and issues in nano education, including noteworthy examples showing the integration of nanotechnology in undergraduate education. The books are intended to serve as a model for developing nanotechnology-based curricula. aspbs.com/jne
SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS
	FOR EDUCATORS: TeachNano 3 Seminar a Success! The 3rd International Seminar on Teaching Nanoscience with Scanning Probe Microscopy, hosted by Nanoscience Instruments and Nanosurf, took place in conjunction with this year's ACS Spring meeting in Chicago, IL. Seminar presenters covered a wide range of topics and stressed the importance of hands-on experience to learning nanoscience and technology. For more information and to stay informed of future seminars, visit teachnano.com.
	FOR STUDENTS: A Workshop in Scanning Probe Microscopy The first annual NUE UNIQUE workshop was held this past June at the University of Washington. The workshop's hands-on lab units covered a wide variety of SPM techniques, including Scanning Force Microscopy and Dip-Pen Nanolithography, AC-Mode imaging and Electrostatic Force Microscopy, Force Spectroscopy Analysis, Force Modulation Microscopy, and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. nanoscience.com/UNIQUE.
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
	Online Clearinghouse for SPM Educational Experiments This newly-launched SPM Education site is a clearinghouse for SPM experiments, techniques, labs and ideas that have been published in the scientific educational literature or developed by educators to be used primarily for educational purposes. Visit the James Madison University SPM Education website.
	NanoEd Resource Portal Launched The NCLT (National Center for Learning and Teaching in Nanoscale Science and Engineering) has launched the NanoEd Resource Portal. The site is designed to both gather and disseminate information on nano-education related topics, including education research, nanoconcepts, teaching materials, seminars, and degree programs.
EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS
	Educational Pricing for SPIP Image Analysis Software! Image Metrology has introduced new pricing for their Scanning Probe Image Processor (SPIP), the defacto standard in AFM & STM image analysis. Now, users involved in teaching AFM & STM can get very attractive discounts on multiple units that fit perfectly in the classroom environment. These packages are full-featured versions of SPIP, and can open virtually every commercial AFM & STM file format. If you would like to try SPIP for free, you may download a demonstration version at nanoscience.com/SPIP.
