CNEU Teaching Cleanroom
The Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization (CNEU) has a teaching cleanroom constructed for, and dedicated to, delivering a hands-on nanotechnology synthesis, fabrication, and characterization experience for students.
This teaching cleanroom is used in conjunction with the Penn State Nanofabrication Facility, a National Science Foundation National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) hub, to give students from community colleges from all over Pennsylvania the six-course, core skill set exposure in all aspects of nanotechnology.
In addition to its workforce teaching role, the CNEU cleanroom facility is used as a “laboratory” in which CNEU evaluates new equipment for teaching and also develops both its in-lab and remote, web-accessible, learning experiences for the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge (NACK) Network. The teaching cleanroom is also used in the NACK hands-on workshops attended by educators from across the country.
This educational cleanroom includes 500 square feet of laboratory space and 1,000 square feet of class 100,000 cleanroom space.
