It all started with an ideaMNT – Micro Nano Tech Conference Conceived
First MNT Conference 2011The Micro Nano Tech (MNT) Conference is a faculty-focused conference co- sponsored by the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Micro and Nano Technology Centers. The mission of this conference is to enable micro and nano technology education at community and technical colleges across the United States by:
• Providing quality education services and best practices
• Offering technical assistance to aid in micro and nano curriculum integration
• Collaborating with industry to address workforce needs
2012 – NACK at Penn StateNational Center for Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge (NACK)
Continued annually – Forming the Community• 2013 – Minneapolis - Dakota County CC – Nano-Link• 2014 - Albuquerque – UNM - SCME• 2015 – Seattle – North Seattle College - SHINE• 2016 – Albany – SUNY Polytechnic - NEATEC
Evolution to MNTeSIG
In 2016, Albany MNT Conference, created the Special Interest Group to be part of the annual HI TEC conference!
