9987620Viola Vogel - University of WashingtonIGERT: NanotechnologyThis Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and researchin nanotechnology. This field draws from revolutionizing advances in science and enabling technology to build extremely small structures and devices. Nano-scale structures are several billionth of a meter long, about a thousand times smaller than the human hair. Expertise to build these structures is growing rapidly, and capitalizes from fundamental advances in physics, electronics, chemistry, material sciences, biology, biotechnology and medicine. This interdisciplinary approach to nanotechnology requires close cooperation among fields of science and technology that are traditionally separated. The new graduate education program in Nanotechnology at the University of Washington will thus educate a new generation of scientists and engineers who will cross those disciplinary boundaries. Graduate students will enroll in one of the seven participating departments and become involved with the Center for Nanotechnology through additional course work, research experiences, hands-on training on modern nano-analytical tools, seminars, symposia, and social interactions. Additional options include an industrial internship program, and various certificate programs. The student will graduate with a Ph.D from a home department and Nanotechnology, for example in Physics and Nanotechnology.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing new, innovative models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the third year of the program, awards are being made to nineteen institutions for programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF. The intellectual foci of this specific award reside in the Directorates for Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and Education and Human Resources.

9987620Viola Vogel - 华盛顿大学IGERT：纳米技术该综合研究生教育和研究培训 (IGERT) 奖项支持建立纳米技术教育和研究的多学科研究生培训计划。 该领域借鉴了科学的革命性进步和使技术能够建造极小的结构和设备。 纳米级结构的长度为十亿分之一米，大约比人类头发丝小一千倍。 建造这些结构的专业知识正在迅速增长，并利用了物理学、电子学、化学、材料科学、生物学、生物技术和医学的基础进步。这种纳米技术的跨学科方法需要传统上分离的科学和技术领域之间的密切合作。 因此，华盛顿大学新的纳米技术研究生教育计划将培养跨越这些学科界限的新一代科学家和工程师。研究生将入读七个参与院系之一，并通过额外的课程作业、研究经验、现代纳米分析工具的实践培训、研讨会、专题讨论会和社交互动，参与纳米技术中心的工作。 其他选项包括工业实习计划和各种证书课程。 学生毕业后将获得本院和纳米技术领域的博士学位，例如物理学和纳米技术领域的博士学位。IGERT 是一个 NSF 范围内的项目，旨在应对博士教育的挑战。具有多学科背景以及未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的科学家和工程师。 该计划旨在通过在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中建立新的、创新的研究生教育和培训模式，来促进研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第三年，十九个机构因涵盖 NSF 支持的科学和工程所有领域的项目而获奖。该奖项的智力重点属于工程、数学和物理科学以及教育和人力资源理事会。
