16. Weekly Discussion Questions
We will devote minutes of class time each week for small group discussions

17. Weekly Homework Assignments
Due every Wednesday!
You will be asked to answer one or two questions or solve problems related to the topics discussed during class that week. 
Please bring your responses to lecture the following week or submit them via to by the following lecture.

18. Take-Home Midterm exam
Due Wednesday May 11th
The midterm will be based on in-class lectures, reading assignments, and problem sets. The exam will be assigned during week 5 (May 4th) and due in class during week 6 (May 11th).
The midterm will involve both calculation and design problems that may involve web research.

19. Final Writing Assignment
Due June 22nd
You will write a final research paper on a nanostructure or technology of your choice. 
The paper should reference current literature on your selected topic and should target an audience of your fellow students. 
5 to 10 pages double-spaced 10 to 12 point font including tables and images. 
More details to follow…

20. Ten Key Nanostructures
Thin film and amorphous silicon (PV) – solar energy
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) / carbon composite materials (aerospace & transportation)
Surface coatings and SAMs (Self Assembled Monolayers) Sensors and bionanotechnology
Nitinol™ (biomedical stents) / electropolished alloys
Thin film and plasma coatings (polyester film) / high performance glazing
Particles (coated particles) biomedicine / powder metallurgy (lithium batteries)

21. PNPA Relationship
As you look at different nanotechnologies this quarter think about the following:
What are the applications? (A)
What properties are needed? (P)
What are the (nano)structures? (N)
How do you fabricate / process it? (P)

22. PNPA
Use PNPA to ‘connect’ topics in the four-course series – from A to PNPA
Applications (A)
Nanostructure (N)
Properties (P)
Process (P)
