摘要
Three laboratory modules addressing the environmental impacts of nanotechnology were developed and implemented into one junior-level undergraduate environmental engineering course. Detailed laboratory procedures for each module are presented together with student results. All modules were fully evaluated with two survey instruments, feedback surveys and multiple choice pre and post-tests. Overall, students had a positive exposure to nanotechnology and such experience enhanced their learning and increased their interest in science and/or engineering.
