NUE: NanoLab -- A Hands-On Introduction to Nanoscience for Scientists and Engineers

这个纳米技术在本科教育（NUE）奖，由材料研究部资助，支持博士劳埃德A。Bumm和Mathew B。约翰逊，物理和天文学系，俄克拉荷马州，诺曼大学，开发一个纳米技术实验室课程的本科生，纳米实验室-动手介绍纳米科学家和工程师。 NanoLab是一门针对物理科学、生物科学和工程学大二本科生的纳米技术动手实验课程。 学生通过自上而下和自下而上的纳米纤维技术（如光刻图案化，纳米颗粒生长和自组装）的实践经验来了解纳米技术。 与最先进的纳米尺度表征技术，如原子力显微镜的实践经验，是课程的一个组成部分。 NanoLab在八月闭会期间提供，作为为期四周的强化实验室课程。 该课程也向其他大学的学生，RET学者和特别有才华的高中生开放。 纳米实验室设施也可用于顶点本科研究和REU夏季研究。模块被剥离并纳入初级物理实验室课程，在那里科学被更深入地探索。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award, funded by the Division of Materials Research, supports Drs. Lloyd A. Bumm and Mathew B. Johnson, Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, to develop a nanotechnology laboratory course for undergraduates, NanoLab - a Hands-On Introduction to Nanoscience for Scientists and Engineers. NanoLab is a hands-on laboratory course in nanotechnology targeting sophomore undergraduate students in the physical sciences, the biological sciences, and engineering. The students gain an understanding of nanotechnology through hands-on experience with top-down and bottom-up nanofabrication techniques, such as lithographic patterning, nanoparticle growth, and self-assembly. Hands-on experience with state of the art nanometer-scale characterization techniques, such as atomic-force microscopy, is an integral part of the course. NanoLab is offered during the August intersession as an intensive four-week laboratory course. The course is also open to students from other universities, RET scholars, and to especially talented high school students. The NanoLab facilities are also available for Capstone undergraduate research and for REU summer research. Modules are spun off and incorporated into the junior physics laboratory course where the science is explored in more depth.
