Most s cientific tools strive to be comprehensive in solving “any” simulation problem in a specific problem range. That comprehensiveness limits the us e to experts\, who require extensive training. nanoHUB has instead focused on delivering a spectrum of Apps (over 700 now) that individually have a limited capability such as a single crystals\, PN-junction\, MOSFET\, or n anowire while the underlying tool could of course solve a much wider set o f problems. We assembled some of these Apps that are essential for specifi c courses into small sets such as ABACUS (crystals\, bandstructure\, drift -diffusion\, pn-junctions\, BJTs\, MOScaps\, MOSFETs) [1]. The usability r esults are stunning. Our user analytics prove that over half of the simula tion users participate in structured education through homework/project as signments. We can identify classroom sizes and detailed tool usage [2\,3]. We can begin to build mind-maps of design explorations and assess depth o f explorations for individuals and classes. While parts of academia strugg led to innovate curricula\, we have measured the median first-time App ins ertion into a class to be less than six months. Over 180 institutions have utilized nanoHUB in their curriculum innovation in over 3\,600 classes. 2 million nanoHUB visitors explore lectures and tutorials annually. With su ch a community presence we believe nanoHUB is the platform of choice to de liver online modeling\, simulation\, virtual environments\, and lectures f or the US initiative on workforce development [4].\n\n[1] https://nanohub. org/groups/abacus ABACUS - Assembly of Basic Applications for Coordinated Understanding of Semiconductors.
