California State University, Northridge received $500,000 from the W.M. Keck Foundation for a two-year project to expose undergraduate engineering and science students to the study and research of nanotechnology. The money will fund the purchase of a field emission scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy in CSUN’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “I can’t tell you how excited I am,” manufacturing systems engineering and management professor Behzad Bavarian, the project’s coordinator said. “The purchase of the microscope is a great contribution to our program. It allows us to truly incorporate nanotechnology into undergraduate education.”
