How to Participate (Students and Fellows)

The NanoEd Resource Portal is a comprehensive repository of resources for the community of learners and teachers in nanoscale science engineering and education. Contributors have the opportunity to showcase and share resources, expanding their network of influence. We are working to make the NanoEd Resource Portal a strong virtual workspace and reference for college students interested in the teaching and learning of NSEE. This web environment will be a tool to expand your knowledge base and network within the greater NSEE community.

Contributions:

College students and post doctoral fellows are encouraged to contribute their research activities and results in nanoscale engineering and education through poster, presentation, and paper uploads. These contributions will be searchable by author, category, and key words. All contributions must be approved by your advisor before uploading. The content and copyright of materials uploaded are the sole responsibility of the author(s).

This project is funded by the National Science Foundation and is maintained by the National Center for Learning and Teaching.
