A central theme that ties the modules together is that the structure, properties, processing, and performance parameters of a material are intimately linked at all levels of scale. The interactive IN-VSEE modules provide:
 
  •      Reinforcement of key concepts and fundamental principles that are taught in science, math and engineering curricula.
  •      Prospective users on the methodologies of experimental design and remote SPM instrumentation on the web.
  •      Students with a flavor of research. The modules will challenge and encourage potential users to formulate original experiments.

    • A series of web-based educational modules, written in collaboration with teachers from pre-collegiate and collegiate institutions, follow this introductory page that center around a common theme of understanding and manipulation of our natural and man made material worlds. The module topics selected rely heavily on interactive, discovery-based learning activities to introduce or reinforce the user to not only key fundamental and applied material concepts within a material class or discipline but also among various material classes and disciplines over a wide range in length scale.
