The project (NaMCATE) is developing benchmarks for nanomanufacturing and six nanomanufacturing curriculum modules for upper high school and community college levels. The project is a collaborative effort of high school, community college and university faculty in New York State and at Arizona State University.Intellectual Merit. The project is developing a set of cutting-edge curriculum materials for high school science and technology education programs that provide opportunities to address important new content and meet the needs of the growing number of community colleges wishing to implement nanotechnology programs. NaMCATE builds on work done by MATEC at Maricopa County Community College District and is developing the first set of high school (HS) and community college (CC) benchmarks for nanomanufacturing. The curriculum modules are being developed in cooperation with industry, NSF nanotechnology research centers, and other faculty active in nanotechnology education. In addition to the instructional modules, the project is developing learning tools and providing access to inexpensive equipment and devices specially designed for HS and CC students and faculty. Recognized experts in nanotechnology and experienced educational materials developers are collaborating to ensure fidelity to standards, technical accuracy, and pedagogical correctness. Broader Impacts. NaMCATE aims to significantly advance the capacity of community colleges and high schools to provide instruction in the burgeoning area of nanoscale manufacturing. The project methods and materials are being disseminated through a wide variety of means and sustained by collaborating partners. All project processes, products, collaborative relationships, and outreach efforts are being formally evaluated by an external evaluator. The material is being used by a diverse group of students in the cooperating colleges and universities. The project can introduce high school and community college students and faculty to the methods, applications, and processes of nanomanufacturing and can become a stimulus to the pursuit of further education and careers in this promising field.

该项目（NaMCATE）正在为高中和社区大学制定纳米制造基准和六个纳米制造课程模块。该项目是纽约州和亚利桑那州立大学的高中、社区学院和大学教师的合作努力。该项目正在为高中科学和技术教育计划开发一套尖端课程材料，为解决重要的新内容提供机会，并满足越来越多希望实施纳米技术计划的社区学院的需求。NaMCATE建立在MATEC在Marvila县社区学院区所做的工作基础上，正在开发第一套高中（HS）和社区学院（CC）纳米制造基准。课程模块正在与工业界、NSF纳米技术研究中心和其他活跃在纳米技术教育领域的教师合作开发。 除了教学模块，该项目正在开发学习工具，并提供专门为HS和CC学生和教师设计的廉价设备和装置。 在纳米技术和经验丰富的教育材料开发商公认的专家正在合作，以确保忠实于标准，技术准确性和教学的正确性。更广泛的影响。NaMCATE旨在显著提高社区学院和高中在新兴的纳米级制造领域提供教学的能力。该项目的方法和材料正在通过各种手段传播，并由合作伙伴维持。所有项目进程、产品、合作关系和外联工作都由外部评价人员进行正式评价。 合作院校的各类学生正在使用这些材料。 该项目可以向高中和社区大学的学生和教师介绍纳米制造的方法，应用和过程，并可以成为在这个有前途的领域追求进一步教育和职业生涯的刺激因素。
