Abstract :
The development of an Nanotechnology Processes Option for chemical engineers and other students in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University is presented. The curricular development attends to content, pedagogy, and different types of knowledge. Assessment results based on Shavelson´s cognitive model and plans to weave in a strand that encompasses environmental and human health in nanotechnology are summarized.
