Micro- and Nano-space Explorations of Health and Disease

The Micro- and Nano-space Explorations of Health and Disease (MNEHD) project is part of The University of Southern Maine’s initiative to incorporate health science-related studies of microbiology, nanotechnology, and electron microscopy into bioscience education. CSE is directing the evaluation of this professional development project to measure its effectiveness with regard to its goals of enhancing teachers’ awareness of and attitudes toward the microbial world, their understanding of particular science skills and concepts, and their ability to implement curricula in their classrooms that increase student interest and knowledge.
