This paper presents the integration of basic concepts of nanotechnology into undergraduate education through introductory chemistry course. Various instruments, pre-test, post test, quizzes and surveys, were used for evaluation. Statistical analysis of the collected data show that Student t-test and P-value for pre and post tests were 8.6 and <0.05 which represent quantitative evidence of the effectiveness of the integration. The analysis of the surveys shows positive attitudes towards the strategy, 60% of students indicated that their interest in science has increased as a result of the integration program.
