Abstract :
A novel, web-based Interactive Nano-Visualization for Science and Engineering Education (IN-VSEE) initiative is currently under development at Arizona State University and collaborating institutions that offers asynchronous distance learning of material systems remotely over the WWW. IN-VSEE exploits advanced telecommunications to facilitate remote operation of scanning probe instruments over the web directly from the classroom. The IN-VSEE multidisciplinary initiative can be used to reinforce biomaterials science and engineering concepts, as well as for training bioengineering students interested in understanding and exploiting man-made and naturally derived biomaterials at the micro- and nanoscale
