CNT logic knowledge module integrated in digital CMOS logic design course

We present a knowledge module exposing students to novel Nanodevices and computing isuues in the context of CMOS Design. This knowledge module has a two-fold objective. First, it generates interest amongst students regarding the fundamental concept of future nano-devices. This will motivate them to enroll in other elective courses related to Nanotechnology, being offered in most EE and CS departments. Further, this module can be used to let students analyze, synthesize and apply their existing knowledge of digital logic design into revolutionary design context with CNT logic. Assessment included the development of rubrics for grading students understanding of key concepts. Survey results and comments indicate that 89% of the students liked the module and demonstration, as well as were enthusiastic and motivated to learn more on nano devices.
