NUE: Nanotechnology Across The Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

本科教育（NUE）的纳米技术奖教授托马斯J.曼宁的瓦尔多斯塔州立大学是由化学教育计划和地球科学司共同支持。 它支持本科教育中的12个动手纳米技术经验领域。 其中包括：测量含有纳米结构的溶液的依数性，官能化富勒烯和纳米管的水相化学，纳米管与DNA的比较，环境中的纳米颗粒和纳米结构及其反应的计算机模拟。 该项目强调了在本科科学课程的前两年大规模实施所需的实际方面，包括涉及化学品和仪器仪表的经济因素，安全问题，与本科课程所涵盖主题的相关性，以及探索性实践经验的明确定义的程序。 该奖项的提案是为了响应纳米科学与工程计划公告，NSF 02-148，NUE类别。 该项目涉及一个计划和组织结构，为本科生开发和传播12个动手实验室经验和教育材料。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to Professor Thomas J. Manning of Valdosta State University is jointly supported by the Chemistry Education Program and the Division of Earth Sciences. It supports twelve areas of hands-on nanotechnology experiences in undergraduate education. Among these are: measuring colligative properties of solutions containing nanostructures, aqueous phase chemistry of functionalized fullerenes and nanotubes, comparisons of nanotubes to DNA, nanoparticles in the environment and computer simulations of nanostructures and their reactions. The project emphasizes the practical aspects needed for large-scale implementation in the first two years of an undergraduate science curriculum including economic factors involving chemicals and instrumentation, safety issues, correlation to topics covered in undergraduate courses, and clearly defined procedures for exploratory hands on experiences. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering program announcement, NSF 02-148, category NUE. The project involves a program and organizational structure to develop and disseminate 12 hands-on laboratory experiences and educational materials for undergraduates.
