Tuesday 6:30 - 9:15 PM Nanotechnology Lecture (Our class)

Outlook calendar link to remind yourself to go to class

 

Prior to each class, go to Canvas/Modules, find the relevant week #, and download the files listed there and perhaps a few from the week prior and the week subsequent, too.

 

Go to https://fit.instructure.com/courses/265730/files

Find the following folders, and right click on the three dots, then download some massive files with what used to be a DVD for the course onto your computer:  Nanotechnology Lecture Videos, Nanotech Lab Lecture Videos, Nanotech Synthesis Videos, Nanotech Lab - Characterization Labs, Materials Characterization Lab Lecture Videos, and Materials Characterization Videos.  I would start with the Nanotech Synthesis Videos folder.  It will take several minutes each to download these as massive .zip files.  If that doesn't work because it is too massive for you (Some are multiple gigabytes.), then try the following links instead.

Nanotechnology Lecture videos from prior years:  https://fit.instructure.com/courses/265730/files/folder/Nanotechnology%20Lecture%20Videos

Nanotech Lab "characterization lab" videos:  https://fit.instructure.com/courses/265730/files/folder/Nanotech%20Lab%20-%20Characterization%20Labs

Homeworks:  in readdiscusstopicsall2007g.doc;

.pdf files contain news items for the homework and are summarized in HWreadingpdf.zip

.ppt and .pptx files are the most important parts of the .pdf files and may get covered in class

PowerPointslidestoreadfornanotech.pdf include the most important slide #'s in the PowerPoint files

.zip files contain the original documents from which the .pdf, .ppt, and .pptx files are summaries

Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network content is in burgundy

 

See the WelcometoNanotechnology2023.docx file and what is inside.

 

Now that this class is in online mode in addition to in person mode, use the hyperlinked files below in order to prepare for class!  I will send out updated versions of this periodically as I record lecture content into PowerPoint files.  The linked .pdf's are the same as the newly added PowerPoint files in bold red, EXCEPT that they also have my recorded audio.

 

If attending via Zoom, come to class a few minutes early to  get any logistics situated.  If it is your class time and you're having trouble getting in, call me at 321-749-3437 and/or e-mail me at jbrenner@fit.edu.

Olin Engg. 256/228/229 MTWR 1-2 PM, M 2-4 Office Hours (I may only be there in person, as opposed to Zoom, depending on whether someone actually came to see me in person.

My plan is to use the "flipped classroom" model.  You should view and listen to the relevant pre-recorded PowerPoint material as listed in the .pptx files before each date on the syllabus.  There will be a simultaneous live in person lecture and a Zoom lecture.  I will post the recorded live lecture after class as soon as reasonable.

In accordance with “Florida Tech Safe: Return to Learn” procedures, instructors will enforce Florida Tech’s mandatory face covering policy in all classrooms and teaching labs. All students MUST wear appropriate face coverings that cover their mouth and nose during all face-to-face course meetings. Students who fail to comply with this policy WILL BE REQUIRED to leave the classroom immediately. Students unable to comply may contact the Dean of Students Rodney Bowers for further options.  Bandannas are NOT considered acceptable.

Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs and activities. Florida Institute of Technology policy also prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.  Florida Tech faculty are committed to helping create a safe learning environment for all students that is free from all forms of discrimination and sexual harassment, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. If you, or someone you know, have experienced or is experiencing any of these behaviors, know that help and support are available.  Florida Tech strongly encourages all members of the community to take action, seek support, and report any incident of sexual harassment or gender discrimination to Fanak Baarmand, Title IX Coordinator at 321-674-8885 or fbaarman@fit.edu.  Please note that as your professor, I am required to report any incidents to the Title IX Coordinator. If you wish to speak to an employee who does not have this reporting responsibility, please contact the Student Counseling Center at 321-674-8050.
