Interactive Nano-Visualization for Science and Engineering Education (IN-VSEE)

9632740罗摩克里希纳将纳米科学和技术的概念纳入高中高年级和低年级大学的课程将需要创新的教育方法，帮助学生理解100纳米以下的物质的结构和性质。这个科学与工程教育中的纳米可视化互动(IN-VSEE)项目将创建一个由大学和工业科学家、社区大学和高中科学教师以及博物馆教育工作者组成的联盟，他们的共同愿景是创建一个互动的万维网(WWW)网站，以开发基于先进显微镜和纳米加工工具的远程操作以及强大的表面表征方法的新的教育推动力。该项目的核心是革命性的扫描探针显微镜(SPM)，它已迅速发展成为一种相对简单、但功能强大的技术，能够以原子级别的分辨率对材料进行成像和操作。拟议的对SPM的重视将允许全国的学生和教师使用这种获得诺贝尔奖的技术来操作和学习纳米技术。IN-VSEE的主要目标是将令人兴奋的纳米技术世界带入课堂，帮助激励今天的学生成为明天的科学家和工程师。In-VSEE是一项独特的倡议，使科学或工程类(“操作员”)能够在WWW上选择和调查材料。使用“鱼缸”形式，其他班级(“观察者”)将能够观察操作员班级的操作和实验。操作员课程将通过WWW实时播放SPM图像，从教室远程控制SPM。观察员将积极参与，通过WWW聊天或视频会议与操作员班进行交流。In-VSEE将通过创建对话并在WWW上与其他教室共享而产生连锁反应。这一同样的办法将作为国家使用除可持续发展机制之外的其他文书的模式。***

9632740 Ramakrishna The integration of nano-science and technology concepts into upper -division high school and lower-division college curricula will require innovative educational approaches that will help students understand the structures and properties of matter on a scale below 100 nanometers, i.e., the nanoscale. This Interactive nano-Visualization in Science and Engineering Education (IN-VSEE) project will create a consortium of university and industry scientists, community college and high school science faculty and museum educators with a common vision of creating an interactive World Wide Web (WWW) site to develop a new educational thrust based on remote operation of advanced microscopes and nanofabrication tools coupled to powerful surface characterization methods. The centerpiece of this project is the revolutionary scanning probe microscope (SPM), which has evolved rapidly into a relatively simple,, yet powerful, technique capable of imaging and manipulating materials at resolutions down to the atomic scale. The proposed emphasis on SPM will allow students and teachers nationwide to operate and learn about nanotechnology using this Nobel-prize-winning technique. The key objective of IN-VSEE is to bring the exciting world of nanotechnology into the classroom to help inspire today's students to become tomorrow's scientists and engineers. IN-VSEE is a unique initiative that enables a science or engineering class ("operator") to select and investigate materials over the WWW. Using a "fishbowl" format, other classes ("observers") will be able to observe the operator class conducting and experiment. Operator classes will remote-control the SPM from their classroom with the SPM images broadcast over WWW in real-time. The observers will actively participate by communicating with the operator class via WWW-Chat or video conferencing. IN-VSEE will have a chain reaction effect by creating dialogue and being shared over WWW with other classrooms. This same approach will serve as a model for the national use of other instruments beside the SPM. ***
