Participation by a Department involves: (1) Designating at least one faculty coordinator who will (a) work with students from that Department to develop a program and schedule of courses at the time they declare participation in the NS&T minor, (b) meet once a year with those students to provide advising and (c) provide assessment data to the NS&T minor committee, (2) Designating a faculty member of the NS&T committee, which will make decisions in modifying curriculum, and establishing procedures, and (3) Offering courses which serve as part of the NS&T minor; agreeing to accept nonmajors into those courses and to give careful consideration to relaxation of prerequisites to declared NS&T minor students. The following departments have agreed to participate in the Interdisciplinary NS&T Minor: Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry & Biochemistry and Physics. The administration of the NS&T will be carried out by Faculty from each of the participating departments; a committee of these faculty members will design the curricula, in accordance with the Faculty Senate’s requirements which were established on February 9, 2004, and are stated below. As there needs to be a contact point where students and faculty from outside of the participating departments can go for information and advising, we also propose that, in coordination with the new Maryland Center for Integrated NanoScience and Engineering (MCINSE), the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) will act as the sponsoring and central administering unit. This is in part because of the relatively large fraction of MSE faculty involved in nanoscale science and technology research, and in part because of the multidisciplinary nature of the department. Each participating department will supply an individual faculty coordinator for that department, with Prof. Ray Phaneuf acting as the overall faculty coordinator for the minor. Faculty coordinators will design individual student programs, and oversee the progress of students from their department toward satisfying the minor. Faculty members who have agreed to serve as departmental NS&T minor coordinators are: Ray Phaneuf, Materials Science and Engineering Michael Fuhrer, Physics Sang Bok Lee, Chemistry & Biochemistry Bao Yang, Mechanical Engineering John Melngailis, Electrical and Computer Engineering
Srini Raghavan, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering In addition the following faculty will serve on the NS&T committee Ray Phaneuf, Materials Science and Engineering Michael Fuhrer, Physics Sang Bok Lee, Chemistry & Biochemistry Sheryl Ehrman, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering John Melngailis, Electrical and Computer Engineering Michael Zachariah, Mechanical Engineering Gary Rubloff, M-CINSE, MSE & ISR Srini Raghavan, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Advising and Assessment Advising of participating students will begin with the development of the individual program of courses at the time a student declares participation in the NS&T minor, and will continue with a yearly meeting until the requirements for the minor are satisfied. Students will be required to obtain the signature of their faculty coordinator to document that the advising sessions take place. Assessment of the NS&T minor will be based upon the success that participating students have in achieving the following learning outcomes: 1. Student demonstrates an understanding of the background concepts that underlie science at the nanometer scale. 2. Student demonstrates and understanding or ability to carry out techniques for fabrication and or synthesis of nanostructures or materials structured at the nanometer scale. 3. Student demonstrates an understanding or ability to carry out techniques for characterizing the properties, function and performance of nanostructures. 4. Student demonstrates an understanding of applications of nanotechnology to computing, data storage, sensing, biology or other fields relevant to industry and/or society. The assessment will be based upon performance on the Midterm and Final examination for each course credited toward the minor, Participating students will be required to provide copies of these exams to allow assessment of their performance on those areas listed above (i.e. 1-4 above) which are relevant to that course; this will be decided by the NS&T committee, in consultation with the instructor. The departmental coordinator will be asked to assign scores on a scale of 1-4 for each student based upon answers to questions during the annual advising section. The grading scale is as follows:
