A research training program was designed, developed, and implemented for introducing new nanomaterials and technology to senior undergraduate students of chemistry.  Monodisperse PbS quantum dots were obtained by a simple, one-step synthetic method.  Sulfur dissolved in 1-tetradecene was used as the S precursor and PbCl2 with oleylamine was used as the Pb precursor.   The synthetic method was easy to operate and tailored for undergraduate students to learn how to design, synthesize, and characterize semiconductor nanoparticles.
