Introduction to NaMCATE Project PDF Print E-mail

The NaMCATE program consists of eleven nanomanufacturing modules for community college engineering programs; a five-week high school introductory course; and, 25 one to three days nanoscience activities that can be infused into existing biology, chemistry, and/or physics high school courses.

Nanomanufacturing curriculum modules cover three areas: Introductory nanotechnology, Bottom-up manufacturing (BUM), and Top-down manufacturing (TDM).

The project is a collaborative effort of community colleges and university faculty in SUNY at Buffalo and Arizona State University.
