SUMMARY:Re-taping of Business Indystry Leadership Team (BILT) Session 1
DESCRIPTION:The Business & Industry Leadership Team Model (BILT) is an employer high-engagement model for college programs\, projects\, and grants that originated with the NSF National Convergence Technology Center (DUE 1700530) in the early 2000s. The model is widely used to deepen employer involvement in educational programs producing such benefits as curriculum better-aligned to meet employer needs\, increased support for recruitment of students\, and others. The two webinars on March 16 and 24 together will provide high-level coverage of the many specifics that make the model work. The origins of the BILT will be explained to set context; key details ranging from employer recruitment to using a structured\, repeatable process for the employers to prioritize the Knowledge\, Skills\, and Abilities desired in the “workforce-ready” graduates in the future will be explained; model variants for colleges\, NSF ATE projects\, and NSF ATE Centers will be discussed; resources will be identified; and questions will be answered. \nPresenter: Ann Beheler

SUMMARY:Launching the Journal of Micro Nano Technology Education at MNT-EC
DESCRIPTION: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 faculty at two-year institutes increase their familiarity in this area\, they can share this experience with their students. The students can gain research and writing skills that can serve them if they choose to transfer to a four-year institution. \nPresenters: \n\nPeter Kazarinoff\, Co-PI of the MNT-EC and faculty at Portland Community College\nNeda Habibi\, Co-PI of MNT-Ec and faculty at Northwest Vista College\n Atilla Cakmak

SUMMARY:Grading for Equity
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peter D. Kazarinoff\, co-PI of the MNT-EC (Micro Nano Technician Education Center) and Tara Nelson\, faculty and department chair at Portland Community College presents a seminar on Grading for Equity. Community College faculty don’t usually think of grading when talking about equity. We will show how our traditional grading practices contribute to inequities in student outcomes. You’ll learn about some concrete strategies you can implement in your classes to make grading more equitable for all students. \nPresenters: Peter Kazarinoff\, co-PI of the MNT-EC and faculty at Portland Community College and Tara Nelson\, faculty and Faculty Department Chair at Portland Community College

SUMMARY:Shape-Changing Micromachines
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Daniel Lopez\, Liang Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Penn State University \nThe field of micromechanics is now a well-established engineering domain with a demonstrated impact on science\, technology\, and product development. At the core of this technology are movable mechanical structures\, MEMS\, with dimensions ranging from a few to 100’s microns\, and rigid components that rely on external links for power supply and control. Removing these constraints would enable a new technology platform for responsive systems that can change shapes\, deploy\, gather energy from the local environment\, and self-propel. These shape morphing systems create a new paradigm in engineering where the distinction between materials and mechanisms gets vague. \nDr. Daniel Lopez\, Liang Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Penn State University\, will introduce the fundamentals and limitations of current micro-machines and discuss the prospect of creating shape morphing structures by using origami and Kirigami techniques combined with nanoscale materials. \nRegistration: https://psu.zoom.us/webinar/register/2416176492447/WN_rDi3CvWvSyuSE3ardsSTXg

SUMMARY:Never Go in with a Blank Sheet of Paper: A Guide for Educators with a Desire to Reach and Work with Industry
DESCRIPTION: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 at a technician level. Industry participation in CC technical education programs is critical to ensure this correlation and also provide students with insight into the career environment and the myriad of opportunities available. This workshop will focus on a three-step process that educators can follow to prepare them to 1) successfully execute the initial contact with industry 2) be prepared for a “face to face” meeting with an industry person and 3) invite participation of the industry/company as a supporting participant in the technician program. During the workshop the participants will walk through the process for their particular technical education program and industry segment. Workshop results will be a checklist of items to complete and various suggestions as well as the first draft of the content that will go on a “blank sheet of paper”. \nPresenter: Deb Newberry – Newberry Technologies

SUMMARY:Nano-Educators Topical Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a more in-depth dive of select nanotechnology topics\, including resources and tips on how to share these ideas with your students. This series consists of 16 self-contained topics split between March-April and September-October. Though targeted for undergraduate studies\, off-line discussions may include ways to adapt to a variety of academic levels. The planned schedule is listed below. Each seminar includes a two-hour discussion on Fridays beginning at noon EST\, and additional materials provided through a course management system. You can attend one\, some or all the topics. \nRegister for the Seminar at https://www.cneu.psu.edu/2021/02/17/netsseries/ \nTopics\nMarch 19\, 2021: Vacuum Technologies and Systems \nWhile there are volumes of interesting material on vacuum technology\, we will overview just a few of the core concepts. We will focus on the foundations of vacuum technology used in advance manufacturing and some areas of material characterization\, including the definition of vacuum\, defining “how much” vacuum is needed\, and how concepts\, such as “mean free path”\, have a direct consequence on the nanoscale material deposition. Vacuum system design and vacuum pump physics/design will help lead us into a demonstration of a vacuum-based deposition tool at Normandale Community College\, which is available on the RAIN network. \nMarch 26\, 2021: Deposition Series 1: Evaporation \nThermal evaporation is a technique used in the nanotechnology industry to deposit thin films of materials on substrates. In this workshop\, you will learn about how thermal evaporation works and what type of materials and products involve thermal evaporation. At the end of the session\, you will see a real-world example of thermal evaporation in action using a low-cost set-up that you can build in your lab and use with students. \nApril 9\, 2021: Atomic Force Microscopy and Nanopatterning with a Scanning Probe (Scanning Probe Lithography) \nThe atomic force microscope (AFM) is a versatile characterization tool that allows users to acquire high-resolution images of nanoscale surface features. In addition to probing nanoscale surface topography\, AFMs can be used to print nanoscale structures using additive and subtractive lithographic techniques. Specialized AFM imaging modes are often required to view nanostructures fabricated using AFM lithography. This talk will provide an overview of AFM lithographic techniques including dip pen nanolithography (DPN)\, nanoshaving\, and electrochemical techniques. This talk will also include a description of specialized AFM imaging modes used to characterize nanostructures printed with AFM. The specialized AFM modes in this talk will include lateral force microscopy (LFM) and phase imaging. A remote access demonstration of AFM lithography and phase imaging will follow. \nAFM lithography demonstration using contact probe to etch area of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) from glass substrate. After initial area has been etched\, a tapping probe will be used to image an expanded area in phase mode\, which will show differences in surface stiffness/softness between the PVP and the glass substrate. \nApril 16\, 2021: Deposition Series 2: Sputtering and Nucleation of the Deposited Material \nSputtering is a fundamental Physical Vapor Deposition method that utilizes plasma. This session will focus on igniting a plasma for the benefit of a thin film deposition. Both DC and RF plasma based sputtering methods will be discussed. The physics of plasma will be elucidated by emphasizing the importance of different power supply and pressure settings using simulations. Ion bombardment and sputtering of atoms from the target materials will be interactively analyzed with the aid of simulations\, as well. The resulting superiority of sputtering over evaporation will be discussed. Finally\, a nucleation example will be covered by sputtering gold on a glass sample. The optical properties of the sputtered material will be studied to understand how gold atoms are sputter-coated on a substrate such as glass. \nApril 23\, 2021: Deposition Series 3: Chemical Vapor Deposition \nThe foundations of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) will be reviewed\, with a focus on Low Pressure CVD (LPCVD)\, typical deposition system design\, and the two modes of deposition. These modes will examine thin films\, known as 2-dimensional nanoscale materials\, and nanowires\, known as 1-dimensional nanoscale materials. A lab tour with a look at a working CVD system may be included. \nApril 30\, 2021: Deposition Series 4: Atomic Layer Deposition and Thermal Oxidation \nOxidation is a way to create a non-conducting layer on Si wafers. Engineers carefully create isolation sites to channel the electrons for conduction. Having the ultimate goal of creating a transistor gate oxide in mind\, the session will start by discussing various uses of the oxides and introduce wet and dry oxidation methods. The oxidation physics and chemistry will be highlighted heuristically\, and simulation methods will be offered to estimate the finalized oxide thicknesses. In contrast\, ion implantation enables the engineers to assign certain areas to be more conductive. Next\, the ion implantation tool will be introduced. The ion implantation mechanism will be studied by using a simulator for different dopant scenarios with different energies. Finally\, atomic layer deposition as an emerging deposition method to achieve ultimate control over the thickness and quality will be covered. Atomic layer deposition of an alumina layer will be studied and the final thickness will be found out using an ellipsometer. \nMay 7\, 2021: Wave-Particle Interaction Characterization 1: Confocal Microscopy \nIn this session\, we will share the brief history of microscopes leading to Confocal Microscopy\, which is a commonly used microscope technique in laboratories working in a range of applications including cell biology to in vitro experiments. This microscope has the capacity of imaging fluorescently labeled molecules with nanometer resolution\, which can be used to measure a variety of activities and processes within the sample including cells. Furthermore\, you will learn how laser scanning confocal microscopy is used in nanotechnology to image biological cells and tissue. Laser scanning confocal microscopy\, often abbreviated confocal microscopy is a derivative of optical microscopy\, the kind of microscope used in most biology labs. The difference is that confocal microscopes can scan at different depths and can create 3-D images. Many confocal microscopes use lasers for illumination which scan across a sample. Confocal microscopes produce high-resolution\, high-contrast images for an optical microscope. You will see applications of confocal microscopes and we will explain the theory of how these nanotechnology characterization instruments work.
