This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to Professor Kevin Kittredge supports the design of a set of experiments in sequential courses that incorporate nanotechnology into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at Miami University at Middletown. Students benefit from these vertically integrated experiments will be involved in multiple aspects of a project in a manner that mimics a research project under a mentor's supervision. Initially, the student synthesizes a target molecule in an organic chemistry course, and learns molecular characterization techniques, such as NMR and IR. In their next course, either quantitative analytical chemistry and/or chemical technology, the student prepares colloidal nanoparticles and studies selective ion-binding of metal cations by titration. In a second analytical chemistry course the student prepares a 2-dimensional self-assembled monolayer and studies ion selectivity by cyclic voltammetry. Lastly, in their physical chemistry course, the student studies the origins of the strong plasmon emissions that appear in the UV and fluorescence spectra for these nanoparticles. Students write a report for a particular class then rewrite it for each subsequent course, which is expected to lead to better student learning. Experiments will be evaluated at each stage and a final assessment conducted. Dissemination of experimental details will be made by both a web site and private publishing. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering program announcement, NSF 02-148, category NUE. The focus is on developing laboratories that will introduce nanoscience to undergraduate students at two different locations, Miami University Middletown (a two-year regional campus) and Miami University Oxford (a traditional four-year university). The vertically integrated nanotechnology curriculum is designed to prepare students to answer the challenges of society and the scientific community.

这在本科教育纳米技术（NUE）奖教授凯文Kittredge支持一套实验的设计，将纳米技术纳入本科化学课程在迈阿密大学米德尔敦的顺序课程。 从这些垂直整合实验中受益的学生将以模仿导师监督下的研究项目的方式参与项目的多个方面。 最初，学生在有机化学课程中合成目标分子，并学习分子表征技术，如NMR和IR。在下一门课程中，无论是定量分析化学和/或化学技术，学生制备胶体纳米颗粒，并通过滴定研究金属阳离子的选择性离子结合。 在第二个分析化学课程中，学生准备一个二维自组装单分子层，并通过循环伏安法研究离子选择性。 最后，在他们的物理化学课程中，学生研究了这些纳米粒子的紫外和荧光光谱中出现的强等离子体发射的起源。 学生为一个特定的班级写一份报告，然后为随后的每一门课程重写，这将有助于学生更好地学习。 实验将在每个阶段进行评估，并进行最终评估。 将通过一个网站和私人出版物传播实验细节。 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。 重点是开发实验室，向两个不同地点的本科生介绍纳米科学，这两个地点是迈阿密大学米德尔敦分校（两年制地区校区）和迈阿密大学牛津分校（传统的四年制大学）。 垂直整合的纳米技术课程旨在帮助学生应对社会和科学界的挑战。
