Education's Role in Integrating Nanotechnology in the Curriculum for the Future

Abstract

In an era of rapid technological evolution, education and innovation form an inseparable nexus, particularly in fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and nanotechnology. This chapter examines how education imparts knowledge and skills and cultivates creativity and critical thinking, which are essential for transformative advancements. AI and nanotechnology, poised to reshape industries, are deeply influenced by educational foundations. Formal education equips individuals with both fundamental principles and specialized expertise. Beyond imparting knowledge, education fosters an environment that encourages innovative thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical understanding. Education emerges as the compass guiding responsible progress as these technologies navigate uncharted ethical and societal landscapes.
