SUMMARY:National Nanotechnology Day
DESCRIPTION:National Nanotechnology Day is an annual celebration featuring a series of community-led events and activities on or around October 9 to help raise awareness of nanotechnology\, how it is currently used in products that enrich our daily lives\, and the challenges and opportunities it holds for the future. This date\, 10/9\, pays homage to the nanometer scale\, 10–9 meters. \nPlanning for various events and activities is underway at schools\, universities\, and various organizations around the country. Whether at home or outside\, there are so many ways to explore advances in nanotechnology and how it is impacting our everyday lives! \nMNT-EC is supporting National Nanotechnology Day with the flowing activities: \n\nListen to one or more of the MNT-EC Talking Technicians Podcasts (Link to podcast page)\nIn honor of National Nanotechnology Day\, October 9th\, the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) is hosting the Plenty of Beauty at the Bottom image contest. Referencing Richard Feynman’s 1959 lecture\, There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom\, this image contest celebrates the beauty of the micro and nanoscale. Vote for your favorite nano image in the NNCI Image Contest.\n\nYou can also check out other activities or find one to do at home by going to the Nano.gov website at National Nanotechnology Day | National Nanotechnology Initiative

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
