The Program shall support efforts to introduce nanoscale science, engineering, and technology into undergraduate science and engineering education through a variety of interdisciplinary approaches. Activities supported may include— development of courses of instruction or modules to existing courses; faculty professional development; and acquisition of equipment and instrumentation suitable for undergraduate education and research in nanotechnology. The Committee established under section 2(c) of the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act ( 15 U.S.C. 7501(c) ) shall coordinate, as appropriate, with the Committee established under section 101 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 6621 ) to prioritize, plan, and assess the educational activities supported under the Program.
Activities supported under the Education and Societal Dimensions program component area, or any successor program component area, that involve informal, precollege, or undergraduate nanotechnology education shall include education regarding the environmental, health and safety, and other societal aspects of nanotechnology. Agencies supporting nanotechnology research facilities as part of the Program shall require the entities that operate such facilities to allow access via the Internet, and support the costs associated with the provision of such access, by secondary school students and teachers, to instruments and equipment within such facilities for educational purposes.
The agencies may waive this requirement for cases when particular facilities would be inappropriate for educational purposes or the costs for providing such access would be prohibitive. The agencies identified in paragraph
(1)shall require the entities that operate such nanotechnology research facilities to establish and publish procedures, guidelines, and conditions for the submission and approval of applications for the use of the facilities for the purpose identified in paragraph
(1)and shall authorize personnel who operate the facilities to provide necessary technical support to students and teachers.
