Our Mission
We seek to create new interdisciplinary learning opportunities in nanoscale science, engineering and technology
for scientists, students, teachers, and the general community. We also aim to integrate the academic and professional success
of science and engineering students with researchers in the CNSI community.
The CNSI community is diverse and interdisciplinary, enabling us to develop a range of creative, dynamic education activities,
supported by sustained partnerships on campus and in the community.
Who Participates?
Our education programs include K12 students and teachers, community college students and faculty, university undergraduates and graduate students, industrial partners, and researchers and faculty from CNSI-represented departments.
Our Programs
Apprentice Researchers (AR)
Graduate researchers mentor high school juniors and teachers from local Santa Barbara area during a summer session at UCSB campus laboratories.
(Biologically Inspired NanoSystems (BINS) - Graduate student research and training program, in collaboration with UCLA)
Expanding Pathways in Science, Engineering and Mathematics (EPSEM)
CNSI educators and researchers create opportunities to promote successful transfer of community college science and engineering
students to UCSB.
Insights on Science and Technology for Society (INSCITES)
INSCITES is a collaborative project that will integrate real-life science and engineering principles within a societal context. The course, designed for undergraduates, is developed and taught by multi-disciplinary teams of graduate student Teaching Scholars. The class encourages hands-on involvement through illustrative labs and also studies the broader implications of science and technology in the transformation of the way we live.
Internships in Nanosystems Science, Engineering and Technology (INSET)
Faculty, graduate students and post docs supervise summer research internships for California community college students.
Let's Explore Applied Physical Science (LEAPS)
UCSB undergrad and grads work regularly with Grade 8 Physical Science and Grade 9 Physics teachers to bring new science curriculum
and hands on activities to local classrooms and after school clubs.
RETnetwork
CNSI educators work with Research Experience for Teachers (RET) site managers to collaborate with teachers and mentor
scientists and sponsor national conferences for Research Experience for Teachers (RET) participants
