This is the most basic version of the Learning Cycle, which is an effective way to introduce students to science concepts.
Notice that this is CONTRARY to what is often found in textbooks, which typically start with presentation of the concept, and then perhaps give examples as illustrations.

This is a newly produced version of the course that was formerly available. We would greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the new format and contents.
Objective:
To convey the basic concepts of nanoelectronics to electrical engineering students with no background in quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
Description:
The development of “nanotechnology” has made it possible to engineer materials and devices on a length scale as small as several nanometers …

Given a model, input data for some paramaters and output data, calibrate unknown input parameters.
The result is not just a single value, but a probability distribution of the most likely values for the unknown parameters.
This tool should find great use in any laboratory course, especially those that require students to do some sort of statistical error analysis.

Bayesian Calibration http://nanohub.org/tools/bayes is a tool that allows you to include a range of inputs and outputs of an equation, and then calculate unknown parameters, not merely as a single-value but as a probability distribution.

This simulation tool calculates reflection and transmission spectra for a range of materials and geometries, from single layers to thin films on a substrate to multi-layered materials and even photonic structures made of patterned layers. S4 can be used to predict the reflections of an SiO2 layer on a silicon wafer, a soap bubble, an anti-reflective coating, and more. S4 is a powerful and versatile tool.

Content developed by Dr. Tanya Faltens that shows how nanoHUB can be combined with hands-on model building activity to teach middle school students about nanoscale modeling and science. This content is also used as part of the NanoDays activities in which nanoHUB participates actively.
