NUE: Sophomore Course and Ancillaries in Nanoscience (SCAN)

这项纳米技术本科教育（NUE）奖由材料研究部、数学科学部和化学部资助，支持Rose-Hulman理工学院的A.B. Western博士、威斯康星大学史蒂文斯角分校的T.F. George博士和印第安纳州立大学的G. Zhang博士创建一门二年级水平的课程，向技术学生介绍纳米科学领域。本课程侧重于在原子水平上创建的材料和设备的新兴应用，以及基本特性。在纳米尺度上的制造工程方面与用于研究可能只有几个原子大小的实体的实验技术一起被介绍。由教育工作者和研究人员组成的团队还为该课程开发了教科书和电子辅助包。与纳米科学相关的教学材料的电子档案包括图像、模拟和计算机程序，以增强可视化，并通过国家科学、技术、工程和数学教育数字图书馆提供。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award, funded by the Division of Materials Research, the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Division of Chemistry, supports Dr. A.B. Western, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Dr. T.F. George, U. of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and Dr. G. Zhang, Indiana State U., to create a sophomore-level course that introduces technical students to the field of nanoscience. The course focuses on emerging applications of materials and devices created on the atomic level, as well as fundamental properties. Engineering aspects of manufacturing on the nanoscale are introduced along with experimental techniques used to study entities that may be only a few atoms in size.The team of educators and researchers also develops a textbook and electronic ancillary package for the course. The electronic archive of instructional materials related to nanoscience includes images, simulations, and computer programs to enhance visualization and is made available through the National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Educational Digital Library.
