Abstract-This paper details the research participation of undergraduate students from the freshman to the senior year. Four courses were designated to prepare students for a nanotechnology research career. New modes of instructions leading to research participation followed in this curriculum have been reported. This covers integration of knowledge, just in time approach, and project portfolio based curriculum. Courses developed in this track emphasize research and applications in health sciences and renewable energy areas. The structure of the track program was presented before with emphasis on the senior level courses of the track. The work in this paper, however, emphasizes research participation in nanotechnology of the junior students within the electrical engineering, computer engineering, and mechanical engineering disciplines. The multidisciplinary components in nanotechnology research topics were attractive to students to work in team. The topics covered in this course included nanotechnology applications in diabetes, cancer research, and neurosciences. Lecture materials were all from up-to-date research papers, and can be altered with the course updates. Students registered for this course were required to emphasize two research topics seven week each, and prepare research posters in a research day where industrial representatives are invited to participate in the discussions with students. Students who completed this course were interested to continue with nanotechnology individual research and get enrolled in upper level courses.The course starts with introducing students to the nanotechnology applications in various fields, including environment, society, consumer electronics, computers, health sciences, optics, electromagnetics, energy, and medical imaging. The course then introduces students to research issues emphasizing health sciences and renewable energy. Students will be required to expand their research to cover in depth one or two research issues that fall within their interests. In the research projects, students work in team, two students/team, and assignment is given to bath to share the contribution of the project. The course was assessed with student satisfaction, and the objectives and the outcomes of the course were met.Index Terms-undergraduate track, research career in nanotechnology, undergraduate research projects, multidisciplinary, innovation.

Nanotechnology is the science, engineering, and application of submicron matters that tie together unique biological, chemical, and physical properties of nanoscale materials in essentially new and beneficial ways. Nanoscience and nanotechnology involve the ability to see and to control individual atoms and molecules. The interest in nanotechnology arises from its potential to significantly affect numerous fields, including information technology, energy, healthcare, the environment, homeland security, national defense, and agriculture. Nanotechnology can be used across many fields, such as physics, chemistry, biology, material science, and engineering. This field will serve to trigger the next wave of the technology revolution.As nanotechnology is emerging and beginning to impact many aspects of our lives, the opportunities for careers are expanding rapidly. A major challenge of this field is the training and education of a new generation of skilled workers. This paper studies different approaches that are used by different institutions of higher education to integrate nanotechnology concepts into their curriculum.

veriler kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak 470 kişiden toplanmıştır. Kullanılan model, nanoteknolojik ürün satın alma niyeti ile ilgili literatür taraması sonucunda oluşturulmuş ve modelde kullanılan değişkenler; çevre, kişisel, sağlık, ekonomik, etik ve yasal, sosyal ve satın alma değişkenleri arasından seçilmiştir. Anket verileri IBM SPSS ve AMOS programlarıyla analiz edilmiş ve modelde oluşturulan hipotezlerin test edilmesi sağlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada kişisel, çevresel ve ekonomik faktörlerin nanoteknolojik ürünleri satın alma niyeti üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu, etik ve yasal, sağlık ve sosyal faktörlerin ise nanoteknolojik ürünleri satın alma niyeti üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
