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. ***

小行星9632740 将纳米科学和技术概念纳入高中高年级和大学低年级课程将需要创新的教育方法，帮助学生了解100纳米以下物质的结构和性质，即，纳米尺度这个交互式纳米可视化在科学和工程教育（IN-VSEE）项目将创建一个大学和工业科学家，社区学院和高中科学教师和博物馆教育工作者的联盟，共同愿景是创建一个交互式万维网（WWW）网站，开发一个新的教育推力的基础上，远程操作先进的显微镜和纳米加工工具，加上强大的表面表征方法。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，能够以原子尺度的分辨率成像和操纵材料。对SPM的拟议重点将允许全国的学生和教师使用这种获得诺贝尔奖的技术操作和学习纳米技术。IN-VSEE的主要目标是将纳米技术的令人兴奋的世界带入课堂，以帮助激励今天的学生成为明天的科学家和工程师。 IN-VSEE是一个独特的倡议，使科学或工程类（“操作员”）选择和调查材料在万维网上。使用“鱼缸”格式，其他类（“观察者”）将能够观察操作员类的操作和实验。操作员班将远程控制SPM从他们的教室与SPM图像广播在WWW上实时。观察员将通过WWW聊天或视频会议与操作员类进行交流，积极参与。IN-VSEE将通过创建对话并通过万维网与其他教室共享而产生连锁反应。这一方法将成为各国使用战略政策特别措施以外的其他文书的模式。 ***
