Executive Summary A progress report is a report of work accomplished during a specific time period. We have planned to have biannual reports throughout the period of the three-year CCSAFS project. Recording the CCSAFS progress is an indicator of what has been accomplished and what lags behind. Such an information is very critical to the whole process of the project. As we have pointed in our methodology, particular attention is given to the SMART goals because it helps to establish specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-targeted goals. Monitoring the CCSAFS performance should be done daily/weekly/monthly, but it has to be recorded in a longer periods of time. In deciding about the module or template for recording and writing up the biannual progress report the following questions should be asked: How much of the work is complete What part of the work is currently in progress What work remains to be done What problems or unexpected things, if any, have arisen How the project is going in general Accordingly, the following template was prepared to be used for the progress biannual and monitoring report.

The research was based on distributing a questionnaire. This study collected data from 485 respondents, of which 410 were analyzed. The results revealed that a very significant finding that the majority of the investigated students (45%) have already heard the word ‘nanotechnology’, though (72%) of those (45%) do not know about nanotechnology very well. The results of the present study indicated that students have basic or no enough knowledge about nanotechnology. The results also showed that students were with a very superficial knowledge of Nanotechnology. Moreover, none of the examined variables has no significant effect on the perception toward nanotechnology. Even though it is expected that students with higher years of study could show more expertise and acquire more developed topics such as the Nanotechnology concept, the students showed similar knowledge of Nanotechnology regardless of their year in study.
