\"Nanoscience\"

The blue and brown colors in butterfly Morpho peleides limpida are not pigments but due to Nature\u2019s remarkable Nanotechnology. This and many other nanoscience topics will be covered in a series of three UG courses composing the new minor in nanoscale science and technology at UCF.<\/p><\/div>\n

UCF stands for opportunity, and an exciting new opportunity is coming to campus in fall 2015.<\/p>\n

Nanoscale science and technology will now be offered as a minor to students interested in the fundamentals of nanoscience and nanotechnology and the implications to society.<\/p>\n

The goal of the 18-hour minor is for students to acquire a working knowledge of nanoscience principles and industrial applications, and to understand the societal technology issues that may impede the adoption of nanotechnology.<\/p>\n

Three core courses will be offered as UCF Service-Learning approved courses. Students will be engaged in several activities involving middle schools in the Orange\/Seminole counties in an effort to enhance the understanding of the topics covered in each course.<\/p>\n

Service-learning activities will be developed by students enrolled in the minor in close collaboration with participating k-12 school instructors to accommodate the activity to their specific needs. 40 percent of their course grade will come from the successful completion and delivery of the project.<\/p>\n
