The TecForum focused on the current state of >nanotechnology and its impact on university curricula. Current and future >applications of nanoscale research and their implications for practicing >engineers were also discussed. > >The presentations available at the IEC Web site include both technological >and education topics: > >Nanotechnology Today - The National Nanotechnology Initiative >James Murday, Office of Naval Research > >Defect-Tolerant Molecular Electronics >Philip Kuekes, Hewlett-Packard > >Nanotechnology: A Perspective for Electrical Engineering Curriculum >Sandip Tiwari, Cornell University > >Nanosensors and Nanodevices >Stephen Fonash, Pennsylvania State University > >The Future of Nanocomputing >George Bourianoff, Intel > >Data Storage Technology: Opportunities in Nanotechnology Education >James Bain, Carnegie Mellon University > >More than 100 individuals representing 98 organizations participated in >the TecForum and expressed great enthusiasm for the event's focus on the >ways that nanotechnology will change the teaching and practice of >engineering. Vasundara Varadan, Division Director of Electrical and >Communication Systems for the National Science Foundation and a TecForum >participant, said, "The TecForum allowed for identifying the academic and >industry needs to be addressed. These presentations lead to the >formulation of effective strategies for the integration of nanotechnology >into the university-level engineering curriculum to ensure successful >training of students who can contribute meaningfully to the commercial >development of nanotechnology." > >Doug, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this tremendous >opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of the direction technology is >taking and to learn how these advancements will affect the future of >engineering education. > >Best regards, > >Barry Sullivan >Director of Content Development >International Engineering Consortium > >The International Engineering Consortium is a nonprofit organization >dedicated to catalyzing technology and business progress worldwide in a >range of high-technology industries and university communities. Since >1944, the IEC has provided high-quality educational opportunities for >industry professionals, academics, and students. In conjunction with >industry-leading companies, the IEC has developed an extensive free >on-line educational program. The IEC conducts industry-university programs >that have substantial impact on curricula. It also conducts research and >develops publications, conferences, and technological exhibits that >address major opportunities and challenges of the information age. More >than 70 leading high-technology universities are IEC affiliates, and the >IEC handles the affairs of the Electrical and Computer Engineering >Department Heads Association.
