Sample Memo to Introduce Students to the Projects
17 Jun 2014 | Contributor(s): Heidi A Diefes-Dux, Krishna Madhavan, Kelsey Joy Rodgers
This is a memo that we used in Spring 2013 to introduce students to their assigned project. It contains a brief introduction to nanoHUB.org and nanotechnology, a list of criteria, a list of milestones, and some learning objectives.
Sample Assessment Rubric
This is an assessment rubric that we used in Spring 2013 to assess students' projects. This particular rubric was used to assess submissions for Milestones 4,5, 6, 8, and 9.

This consists of some training materials for the NanoRoughness MEA. This consists mostly of sample solutions and the expert analysis of the sample solutions. The five MEAs that we reviewed in training are attached here. Also attached is an expert review of sample individual question responses.
NanoRoughness MEA - Teaching Materials
These are the teaching materials for the NanoRoughness Model-Eliciting Activity (MEA). This includes: background information, the memo that describes the problem, and the raw data.
NanoRoughness MEA - Grading Materials
These materials include the Instructor MEA Feedback and Assessment Package (I-MAP), the shortened grading rubrics, and modified rubrics (created based on conversations in training).
Introduction to NanoRoughness MEA - Sandpaper Acitivity
This is the activity that we completed prior to the NanoRoughness MEA. This activity helps us think about how and why we define roughness on the macro scale. After this activity we introduce the NanoRoughness MEA, where we think about defining roughness on the nanoscale for the established...
Introduction to MEAs - Soccer Ball MEA
This is the MEA that we used as in introduction to "What are Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs)". This is a good activity to complete in one class hour to get the class started in understanding problem scoping and modeling. Before completing this MEA, one should watch the MEA Video 1 that...
