1 Sustainable Nanotechnology as a Platform for Interdisciplinary and Holistic Graduate Education Matthew Y. Chan, Michael F. Hochella, Jr., Peter J. Vikesland The Virginia Tech Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology NanoEarth: National Center for Earth and Environmental Nanotechnology Infrastructure November 5, 2017.
2 We live in a world beset by complex problems Climate Change Obesity ? Population Year Energy Water
3 Sustainability
4 Wicked problems 1) Difficult problem formulation 2) Multiple but incompatible solutions 3) Open ended time frames 4) Novelty 5) Competing value systems or objectives requires new approaches Rethinking development of next generations of scientists, engineers, and other professionals
5 Interdisciplinary and Holistic Graduate Education Bringing together established disciplines (isolated domains of human experience and community of expert) to tackle wicked problems with new knowledge, research, education, and theory. Pushing boundaries of traditional disciplinary education by intentionally developing transferrable skillset and overarching growth in areas such as knowledge, leadership, social responsibility, and scholarly inquiry. M. Nissani, Soc. Sci. J Note: Aligning with VT Grad School: Transformative Graduate Education Initiatives
6 Interdisciplinary Team Science Teams have always been required to solve complex problems Rocket Scientists at NASA
7 Regenerative Medicine Biological Transport Translational Plant Sciences Water INTERface Interfaces of Global Change Translational Obesity Macromolecular Science and Engineering Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology Disaster Resilience Bio-Inspired Buildings Remote Sensing Computational Tissue Engineering Interdisciplinary Graduate Education Program (IGEP) at VT Sustainable Nanotechnology Human Centered Design 7
8 VTSuN supports: Scholarly applications of nanoscale science and engineering to improve our understanding of nanomaterial interactions within the environment Enhance our ability to apply nanotechnology to solve global environmental challenges. Implication? Application?

19 Keys to success Fruitful faculty-faculty interactions Fruitful student-faculty interactions Fruitful student-student interactions Communication AND buy-in from both faculty and students is essential
20 Lofty Goals for the future Incorporate more opportunities for holistic development: leadership, social responsibility, and beyond, within the framework of sustainable nanotechnology Remain agile and responsive to student and alumni feedback, and especially to the rapidly evolving field of career and professional opportunities Sustainable nanotechnology is inherently interdisciplinary and suitable as a framework for holistic graduate education; can we be an example to other similar endeavors to tackle wicked problems?
