  2. The research question is … …how do we control short burst of energy at close proximity lasers to create nano-patterning and geometric patterns? • Analysis of nano-patterning through near field effects with femtosecond and nanosecond lasers on semiconducting and metallic targets

  3. 1. What is the societal need that the research is trying to address? • Make things smaller; optics, electronics, medical, etc. 2. What is the bottleneck that lead to the research? • Rayleigh diffraction theorem < λ/2 • The science at the nano-scale works differently. 3. What is the Research Question? • How do we manufacture, design and engineer materials in the nano-scale?

  13. Core Elements In applying these concepts to high school math courses, we will target Geometry and Advanced Mathematical Decision-Making. The mathematical core elements translated in this lesson: • graphing on a Cartesian plane • slope of the line • angles of incidence • angles of reflection • trigonometric ratios • sine, cosine, tangent, parallel lines, alternate interior angles, inverse sine and cosine, and inverse tangent.

  14. The pertinent TEKS standards which can be associated with this core element are: (G2) Geometric structure. The student is expected to: (B) make conjectures about angles, lines, polygons, circles, and three-dimensional figures and determine the validity of the conjectures, choosing from a variety of approaches such as coordinate, transformational, or axiomatic. (G4) Geometric structure. The student is expected to select an appropriate representation (concrete, pictorial, graphical, verbal, or symbolic) in order to solve problems. (G5) Geometric patterns. The student uses a variety of representations to describe geometric relationships and solve problems. The student is expected to: (D)identify and apply patterns from right triangles to solve meaningful problems, including special right triangles (45-45-90 and 30-60-90) and triangles whose sides are Pythagorean triples. (G7) Dimensionality and the geometry of location. The student is expected to: (A) use one- and two-dimensional coordinate systems to represent points, lines, rays, line segments, and figures; (B) use slopes and equations of lines to investigate geometric relationships, including parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and special segments of triangles and other polygons; and (C) derive and use formulas involving length, slope, and midpoint. (G8) Congruence and the geometry of size. The student is expected to: (C) derive, extend, and use the Pythagorean Theorem; (G11) Similarity and the geometry of shape. The student is expected to: (C) develop, apply, and justify triangle similarity relationships, such as right triangle ratios, trigonometric ratios, and Pythagorean triples using a variety of methods
