CEOSE | Biennial Report to Congress THE COMMITTEE ON EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES IN SCIENCE CEOSE AND ENGINEERING BIENNIAL REPORT TO CONGRESS 2017-2018 INVESTING IN DIVERSE COMMUNITY VOICES CEOSE MISSION & BACKGROUND The Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (CEOSE) advises the National Science Foundation (NSF) on policies and programs to encourage full participation by women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities within all levels of America’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enterprise. The Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering was established by the United States Congress through the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act of 1980 to address the problems of growth and diversity in America’s STEM workforce. The legislation specifically provides that: There is established within the National Science Foundation a Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (hereinafter referred to as the “Committee”). The Committee shall provide advice to the Foundation concerning (1) the implementation of the provisions of sections 1885 and 1885d of this title and (2) other policies and activities of the Foundation to encourage full participation of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in scientific, engineering, and professional fields [42 U.S.C.§1885(c)]. Every two years, the Committee shall prepare and transmit to the Director (of the Foundation) a report on its activities during the previous two years and proposed activities for the next two years. The Director shall transmit to Congress the report, unaltered, together with such comments as the Director deems appropriate [42U.S.C. §1885(e)]. The CEOSE is composed of between 12 and 16 individuals from diverse STEM disciplines, drawn from diverse institutions in higher education, industry, government, and the non-profit sectors. Its membership also reflects the racial/ethnic and gender diversity of the country’s citizenry and includes persons with disabilities. Members of the Committee typically serve a three-year term. A full committee meeting is held three times a year (usually winter, spring, and fall) to review and evaluate policies and program opportunities focused on the state of the participation and advancement of women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities in education, training, and science and engineering research. On the basis of its findings, the Committee makes recommendations to the Foundation for improving the levels of participation of underrepresented groups in STEM professions. Committee members also interact with other federal agencies, such as the Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in forging multi- agency collaborations to broaden participation by underrepresented groups in the Nation’s STEM workforce. 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Members of the Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (CEOSE) are indebted to the following National Science Foundation senior officials and program officers for their technical consultation, collection of critical data, and review assistance and comments that enabled the completion of this Biennial Report to Congress: DR.

  • A Course in Micro and Nanoscale Mechanics
    Session 1168 A Course in Micro- and Nanoscale Mechanics Wendy C. Crone, Robert W. Carpick, Kenneth W. Lux, Buck D. Johnson Department of Engineering Physics, Engineering Mechanics Program, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Materials Research Science and Engineering Center on Nanostructured Materials and Interfaces, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA Abstract At small scales, mechanics enters a new regime where the role of surfaces, interfaces, defects, material property variations, and quantum effects play more dominant roles. A new course in nanoscale mechanics for engineering students was recently taught at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. This course provided an introduction to nanoscale engineering with a direct focus on the critical role that mechanics needs to play in this developing area. The limits of continuum mechanics were presented as well as newly developed mechanics theories and experiments tailored to study and describe micro- and nano-scale phenomena. Numerous demonstrations and experiments were used throughout the course, including synthesis and fabrication techniques for creating nanostructured materials, bubble raft models to demonstrate size scale effects in thin film structures, and a laboratory project to construct a nanofilter device. A primary focus of this paper is the laboratory content of this course, which includes an integrated series of laboratory modules utilizing atomic force microscopy, self-assembled monolayer deposition, and microfluidic technology. Introduction Nanoscale science and technology are inspiring a new industrial revolution that some predict will rival the development of the automobile and the introduction of the personal computer.1 By observing and manipulating materials at the nanoscale, researchers have been able to develop new materials with novel and extreme properties.

  • Chapter 6 Online Nanoeducation Resources
    Chapter 6 Online Nanoeducation Resources Sidney R. Cohen, Ron Blonder, Shelley Rap, and Jack Barokas Abstract The internet has influenced all aspects of modern society, yet likely none more than education—opening new possibilities for how, where, and when we learn. Nanoscience and nanotechnology have developed over a similar time frame as the rapid growth of the internet and thus the use of the internet for nanoscience education serves as an interesting paradigm for internet-enabled education in general. In this chapter we give an overview of use of internet in nanoeducation, first in terms of available resources, then by describing the technological, philo- sophical, and pedagogical approaches. In order to illustrate the concepts, we describe as example a for-credit nanoscience curriculum which the authors devel- oped recently as part of an international team. 6.1 Introduction and Background The nature and emphasis of education in formal pedagogical frameworks as well as informal learning has been irreversibly impacted by the world-wide web and other rapidly changing technologies. Online resources have become a major source of information and knowledge, replacing texts and face-to-face (F2F) traditional courses. In the past decade, complete course materials have been made public, ranging from uploaded lecture notes to full video recorded class presentations. Various degrees of interactivity have been implemented in the different formats [1]. Whether it is medical assays, materials, or devices, nanotechnology has firmly rooted itself in our modern lives. In order to meet the growing need for scientists, engineers, and technicians to service and further develop this trend, the educational system must provide suitable training [2].

  • Abstract Book
    Plenary Lecture 1 Nanotechnology Path to Sustainable Society Mihail Roco (National Science Foundation and National Nanotechnology Initiative) Abstract: Nanoscale science and engineering supports a foundational technology with implications on sustainability of economy, environment and overall societal development. Special challenges are balanced, equitable and safe affirmation of the technology. By establishing controlled synthesis and processing of matter at the nanoscale, nanotechnology would require fewer amounts of materials, water, and energy; and with the high degree of precision in nanomanufacturing we are generating less pollution for the same functionality. This presentation will focus on evolution of priorities since 2000. The long-view of nanotechnology development has three stages, each dominated by a different focus: phenomenological basics and synthesis of nanocomponents (2000-2010), nanosystem integration by design for fundamentally new products (2010-2020), and creation of new technology platforms based on new nanosystem architectures (2020-2030)(www.wtec.org/nano2/). Such development raises significant sustainability opportunities and challenges. Nanoscale science and engineering is expected to converge with biotechnology, information technology, cognitive technologies and other knowledge and technology domains resulting in an increase of the complexity and uncertainty of the secondary effects (“Converging Knowledge, Technology and Society: Beyond Nano-Bio-Info-Cognitive Technologies”, Springer 2013, www.wtec.org/NBIC2-Report/).
