Abstract :
Nanotechnology concepts can be used to entice young students into science and engineering departments. Incorporating these concepts into engineering curricula in a useful fashion can be an expensive proposition. This panel provided a forum for discussion of different approaches and opportunities for including nanotechnology in the undergraduate curriculum at all levels ranging from required freshman courses to elective senior courses
