Nanotechnology practical teaching at school and university
Abstract
In the last two decades, the teaching of microelectronics and nanotechnologies has become more and more challenging. First, numerous fundamental sciences converge, which implies the introduction of more and complex theoretical concepts, from simple electronic to quantum mechanics, as well as from chemistry, biology, medicine, ... Here, we present our teaching experience in short practical training programs adapted for secondary and university students where they confront their theoretical background to real life, i.e. by elaborating and testing their own micro/nanosystem for a specified functionality.
