Abstract
Nanotechnology—understanding, measuring and creating at the molecular and atomic level—is not only appropriate to upper level students and research institutions but is also gaining popularity in technical and community colleges as well high schools. From a demand standpoint, multiple studies have shown a forecasted need for millions of nano knowledgeable employees—not only at a PhD level but with hundreds of thousands employees needed at the technician level (M.
