NUE: Nanoscale Issues in Manufacturing

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）计划，题为“纳米尺度的问题，在制造业，”在得克萨斯州A M大学，博士的指导下。Froyd由工程教育和中心部（EEC）工程局（ENG）资助。 这个多样化的跨学科项目的目标是开发一个纳米技术课程，该课程：1）与现有课程整合良好，2）使用创新的教学方法，特别强调主动学习，可视化和技术增强学习，3）将最新研究带入课堂。 这一课程变化有四个组成部分，将在整个本科课程中引入纳米技术的元素。组件1和2包括课程的变化，模块的形式集成到所需的工程课程的第一和第二年的工程专业学生，将重点介绍纳米技术和纳米制造的概念，以及对沟通的兴奋和未来的潜力纳米技术。 第三个组成部分是一个模块，将被集成到由机械工程系提供的初级课程，其中将涵盖更详细的纳米制造相关问题。 第四个组成部分将是一个新的课程提供给所有工程和科学的学生谁已经完成了先决条件的课程，将包括纳米级组件的制造和纳米级组件集成到微观和宏观尺度的设备和散装材料。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "Nanoscale Issues in Manufacturing," at Texas A&M University, under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey E. Froyd is being funded by the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC). The objective of this diverse, interdisciplinary project is to develop a nanotechnology curriculum that: 1) integrates well with the existing curriculum, 2) uses innovative teaching and learning approaches, with a special emphasis on active learning, visualization, and technology-enhanced learning, and 3) brings the latest research into the classroom. This curricular change has four components which will introduce elements of nanotechnology throughout the undergraduate curriculum. Components 1 and 2 include curricular changes in the form of modules integrated into required engineering courses for first and second-year engineering students that will focus on introducing nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing concepts as well as on communicating the excitement and future potential of nanotechnology. The third component is a module that will be integrated into a junior-level course offered by the Mechanical Engineering department which will cover issues related to nanomanufacturing in more detail. The fourth component will be a new course available to all engineering and science students who have completed the prerequisite courses and will include manufacturing of nanoscale components and integration of nanoscale components into micro and macro-scale devices and bulk materials.
