SCME has Moved!
The Southwest Center for Microsystems Education has changed its name to the Support Center for Microsystems Education. We have a new logo and a better website - check us out:

Hands-Online Microsystems Academy
|
The Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME)
invites you to register for courses in the Hands-online Microsystems Academy
for high school, community college, and university educators
See http://ow.ly/XB1Fn for complete details and course descriptions.
All courses are asynchronous; once a course becomes available, you can work at your own pace and stop and start at any time. Tuition is paid by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
REGISTER NOW: http://ow.ly/XB26o
Each Hands-online course contains all of the support materials you need (activities, videos, reading materials) to integrate a basic microtechnology concept into your STEM classes.
How will Hands-online help me in the classroom?

To assist its efforts in assessing the need and relevance of micro and nanotechnology related education, the Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) has recently undertaken a microsystems and nanotechnology mapping project.
As part of this effort, the locations of over 3000 companies and government facilities within the United States that make use of micro and nanotechnologies are presented. These are compiled into a density map, meant to identify emerging and established micro and nanotechnology clusters. Such helps the SCME and its partners determine where perspective students may find employment related to micro and nanotechnologies, and where to focus their effort and resources.
1500 of the companies listed are sorted into seven categories based on the technical field their work lies in. These roughly correspond to the skill sets and technical knowledge an engineer or technician may need to work at such companies. Defined broadly, these are:
Duncan's Micro/Nano Student Blog
Duncan McClure, a graduate student in the NSMS program at UNM, joined the SCME as a project assistant. He is working on the Industry Survey/Mapping project.
Duncan is very active in bringing students and indsustry together. He has started a really good blog and I invite all the educators and students to have a look: "TheNanoStudent"
