What is nano? Why should I be teaching nano? How do I create nano lessons? What resources are available? Nanotechnology is at the frontier of most STEM disciplines and is integral in our everyday lives, including health, electronics, building materials, household products, alternative energy, and even fashion. Gain a basic understanding of nanotechnology. Deepen your […]
This hands-on tutorial will introduce users to the Gr-ResQ (‘graphene rescue’) platform. Gr-ResQ is (i) an open, crowd-sourced database of recipes and characterization of graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, (ii) a set of analysis tools that enable users to analyze the database, and (iii) an online cyber-physical manufacturing network that provides access to distributed […]

Educators at all levels desire for their students to succeed. For Community College educators teaching technical education course success is often defined as “graduates getting jobs”. Achievement of this goal is often tied to having a direct correlation between the student outcomes from the courses in the program and the industry requirements for new hires […]
It has long been said that at four-year institutions, faculty have to publish or perish; at two-year institutions that requirement is not as stringent but could be helpful to faculty progression. The MNT-EC Journal Working Group would like to help faculty at a two-year institution become more familiar on how to do research and write a journal article for publication. As […]
Virtual reality is an attractive method of teaching to younger students interested in technical education, and it is very effective for exposing students to new instruments and processes in a safe, low-cost and low-risk environment. This 4-hour workshop will bring together some of the experts working in this field who have designed, built, and used […]
This one-day workshop will introduce the specific Certification Model developed by SEMI-Cert and NEATEC for technician education programs (A.A.S, A.O.S., BS) - Intended for Community College or four-year colleges with technical programs that are willing to determine if SEMI Certification is appropriate to their programs. Instructor: Abe Michelen Purpose: Expand the reach and impact of […]

Participants […]
Abe Michelen, SUNY Polytechnic Institute, New York The “Raspberry Pi” is a very small computer that was developed to teach people how to program. Not only the Raspberry Pi (RPi) is a great tool for learning programming skills, but there are also dozens of cross-curricular applications in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts, and […]
Presenter: Greg Kepner This in person, hands-on, Arduino Microcontrollers Workshop will provide participants with basic microcontroller theory and operation, hands-on laboratory activities, and a review of Arduino curriculum. Participants will learn how to write and modify code for Arduinos, interface sensors and output devices, and build, test, and troubleshoot circuits. Each participant will receive a […]
