Nanotechnology Partnerships for Rural Education Pathways (NANOprep)
Creating a New Cultural Model for Recruitment and Retention to:Provide nano education opportunities in rural areasImprove public awareness of nanotechnology Increase industry awareness of nanotechnology Infuse emerging technology into high schools and our college to
create pathways Increase enrollment and retention of students in nanoscience
programsApply these same strategies to other programs in emerging technologies that have similar recruitment difficulties, broadening the impact.

Infusion of Nano with High Schools
Infusion of Nano into High School STEM Courses Rushford High School – Tom Vix Houston High School – Ann Markegard
“The student response was very positive. Usually the students are very talkative during the labs. This time they were so involved that it
was very quiet. The nano material generated a lot of interest.” Ann Markegard
Dual Credit to Tran scripted Course Plan Rushford High School – Tom Vix
“If our small school districts don’t offer these kinds of options, students will leave our rural communities and enroll at larger schools This
model works for rural schools.” Chuck Ehlers, Superintendent of Rushford-Peterson Schools in southeast Minnesota

Industry Survey Results
70% somewhat aware of nanotechnology 70% not familiar with use of nano in their business 90% did not intend to use nano in their business Why?
Most said they simply did not understand nano and its applicability.
Typical comment: “I am not sure what nano means. I need to become more educated.”

Emerging Technologies Advisory Board
Southeast Technical College is very pleased to announce the establishment of an Emerging Technologies Advisory Board formed in support of our National Science Foundation Grant focusing on developing an emerging technology/nano-science curriculum in a rural technical college setting.
Board Mission
To provide business, industry, government and the community an opportunity to cooperate and collaborate with education in an effort to identify meaningful instruction and experience for students in emerging technologies, including nano-science, which will be beneficial to both them and their potential employers.

Examples of Nano Companies
RINTek is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation headquartered in Rushford, Minnesota and started in 2001. The Board of Directors of RINTek is made up of several business, education and technology professionals living in and around the Southeast Minnesota area.
The Rushford Institute for Nanotechnology (RINTek) is playing a significant role in bringing nanotechnology to rural America.
RINTek strives to develop relationships in order to foster the growth of nanotechnology in the area. We do this by lectures, incubating businesses, establishing contacts at national, state, and local levels, and working with researchers in the industry. We also operate a public nanotech laboratory.

Rushford NanoElectroChemistry Company
Rushford NanoElectroChemistry is the second rural nanotechnology company in Minnesota, the first was also started here. A good part of our success can be traced back to then cooperation Minnesota State College-Southeast Technical had with RINTek in support of the rural nanotechnology initiatives. We believe very strongly in a strong partnership with education and research. Dr. James Holte, Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, is a partner in our company. He is devoted to rural nanotechnology and is very concerned and involved with education of rural nanotechnology workers.

Why rural nanotechnology?
Significantly less expensive
Keep this technology from leaving the country
Low cost for entrepreneurs
Good place to raise families, alternative life style, mid-west rural work ethic
![Page 30: Addressing Industry & Educational Needs in Emerging Technologies/Nanotechnology: Successes/Challenges PANEL MEMBERS: Karen Halvorson, Moderator Alice Zimmer,](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103007/56649cfb5503460f949cd06d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why rural nanotechnology?
One thing not well known, significantly trained workforce, underemployed
More appreciation of environmental factors
Many nanotechnology companies can work together, since they do not compete

Why rural nanotechnology?
“Generally, 90% of all U.S. nanotechnology manufacturers have < 100 employees and 65 to 70% have less than 20 employees”
