The Penn State Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization (CNEU) is the home of the Pennsylvania Nanofabrication Manufacturing Technology (NMT) Partnership and its NSF-sponsored regional Advanced Technology Education (ATE) Center. The Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization (CNEU) is dedicated to research, development, and education across all aspects of micro- and nanotechnology. Science and technology  research activities of CNEU faculty and students have the usual role of advancing understanding. They also have the unique CNEU role of being immediately injected into workshop curricula, industry outreach activities, workforce development, and undergraduate courses.

This is the overarching goal of CNEU: to rapidly infuse new nanotechnology understanding and advances into education and industry.
