NUE: Nano-Scale Engineering

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）计划，题为“纳米尺度工程”，在肯塔基州大学，在博士M。Pinar Menguc由化学和运输系统部（CTS）和工程教育和中心部（EEC）在工程局（ENG）资助。 该项目的目标是建立一个新的“纳米级工程证书计划”，（NECP）的本科工程专业的学生在肯塔基州（英国）。 这将是第一次，一个证书课程将提供一个全面的方式来教育本科工程专业的学生有关纳米技术。 预计NECP不仅将提高学院工程学的纳米教育水平，而且还将在校园内培养一系列新的跨学科研究项目。NECP学生将需要学习六门纳米技术课程，并参加两个学期的研讨会课程。 所需的六门课程中的四门将是讲座课程，涉及与纳米尺度工艺相关的理论和制造基础。 另外两门课程将是动手实验室课程，并将是除了最低要求的课程，这是对毕业计数。此外，学生将有机会参与五名核心教师实验室内的研究活动，以及在英国其他部门开展前沿研究的人员。 最后，学生将接触到研讨会课程中提出的新颖想法。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "Nano-Scale Engineering," at the University of Kentucky, under the direction of Dr. M. Pinar Menguc, is funded by the Division of Chemical and Transport Systems (CTS) and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG). The objective of this project is to establish a novel "Nano-Scale Engineering Certificate Program," (NECP) for undergraduate engineering students at the University of Kentucky (UK). This will be the first time that a certificate program will be offered in a comprehensive way to educate undergraduate engineering students about nanotechnology. It is expected that the NECP will enhance not only the level of nano-scale education in the College Engineering, but also foster a series of new interdisciplinary research programs around the Campus.Students enrolling the the NECP will be required to take a total of six courses on nanotechnology and attend two semenster-long seminar courses. Four of the required six courses will be lecture courses addressing both theoretical and fabrication fundamentals as related to nano-scale processes. The other two courses will be hands-on laboratory courses, and will be in addition o the minimum required courses which are counted towards graduation. In addition, the students will be given the opportunity to participate in the research activities within the laboratories of five core faculty members as well as those carrying out cutting-edge research in other UK departments. Finally, the students will be exposed to the novel ideas presented during the seminar courses.
