SHINE acts as a regional hub to promote awareness of the principles of nanoscience among the public, middle and high school students, and STEM educators, while expanding the diversity and number of trained nanotechnicians entering the local workforce and/or transferring to pursue Nanotechnology education at four-year institutions.
How are we accomplishing this?
We believe that by introducing a diverse population of middle and high school students to a wide variety of Nanotechnology-related topics through inquiry-based demonstrations, and following up with consistent support and engagement activities for students who enroll in our program, we will be able to entice students of any age, gender, or race, and those with wide-ranging academic and professional goals to further their education in Nanotechnology.

North Seattle Community College is the first college in the state to offer an Associate of Applied Science-T degree in Nanotechnology, an emerging multidisciplinary field. NSCC also offers a Certificate in Nanotechnology, as well as a pathway that will allow students to continue their education at a four-year institution.
Students pursuing an education in Nanotechnology at NSCC will study elements of materials science, chemistry, biology and physics, electronics and engineering and will be exposed to cleanroom procedures and instrumentation. The multidisciplinary design of this program will provide graduates with the skills to enter a wide range of materials-based industries.
