welcome

Nanotechnology Center for Learning and Teaching (NCLT) is conceived to train a nano science and technology literate workforce that can solve global problems by implementing a three-pronged strategy:

1. Publish integrated STEM instructional modules with nano-based applications;
2. Offer professional training through workshops, lectures and seminars;
3. Develop a network of multi-sector nano education communities.

light Manipulation of Light in the Nanoworld extends the standard topics of wavelength, diffraction, and interference into the nanoscale by introducing. >> View Info Sheet (PDF)

light Can steel burn? What is a nanometer? Does size really matter? As an introduction to the nanoworld, students will learn the answers to these questions and then apply this knowledge to design an exploding liquid geyser. Learn about all these in Intro to the Nanoscale Module. >> View Info Sheet (PDF)

envEnvironmental Catalysis Module focuses on the use of catalysis and nanotechnology to promote environmental protection and introduces the concept of catalysis, including issues such as catalytic selectivity, specificity, poisoning, condition optimization, and waste minimization. >> View info Sheet (PDF)

light Nanotechnology Module helps students to learn about the interesting science that happens at the nanoscale, the tools used by scientists to study objects so small, and the potential applications of discoveries made in nanotechnology.
