Stephen Fonash, Bayard D. Kunkle Professor and Director of the Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization (CNEU), notes recent surveys of Google and Yahoo web hit standings on the subject of nanotechnology education, reflect CNEU’s nanotechnology education programs to be ranked first.

Additionally, "the Smalltimes assessment of the work we are doing here at the Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization (CNEU) at Penn State in Nanotechnology Education is consistent with our generally perceived  national leadership role". 

In June 2007 Dr. Fonash provided invited testimony on the Pennsylvania Nanofabrication Manufacturing Technology (NMT) Parternship before the US House of Representatives Science and Technology Education Committee on Nanotechnology Education.
