Rapid advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology research indicate a need for corresponding science, engineering and medical educaon efforts. Issues relang to K-12 scienfic and technological literacy become even more pressing concerns, given the extent to which advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology are expected to impact all aspects of human experience, e.g. healthcare and medicine, transportaon, electronics, and environmental sustainability, to name but a few. This book contains 36 state-of-theart chapters and addresses the following topics: (i) current efforts in the field of nanoscale science and engineering educaon; (ii) noteworthy examples showing the integraon of nanotechnology in undergraduate educaon (chemistry, physics, biological sciences, engineering, environmental science, technology, etc.); (iii) efforts relang to general scienfic and technological literacy/public awareness in nanoscale science and engineering; (iv) projects demonstrang the importance of nanoscale science and technology educaon at the K-12 level, and examples of how specific concepts have been integrated into science instrucon at the primary and secondary school levels (precollege/university); (v) curriculum development and assessment; (vi) social and ethical issues associated with nanoscale science and engineering research (vii) workforce preparaon (professional and vocaonal), and (viii) naonal and state science standards and their relaonships to the goals of nanotechnology iniaves worldwide. The book is wrien by leading experts who are interested and experienced in nanoscience and nanotechnology educaon
