This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "Instrumentation for the Nano-World," at Northern Arizona University (NAU), under the direction of Dr. Lawrence M. Fritz, is jointly funded by the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC), the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), Division of Materials Research (DMR), and the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO). A multi-disciplinary team of faculty at NAU will develop and teach a new, lower-level undergraduate, laboratory-based course on modern instrumention for nanoscience and nanotechnology. The course will be comprised of lectures and hands-on demonstrations involving, electron microscopy, scanning force microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectometry, photelecron spectroscopy and engineering micro-fabrication. Lecture topics will include the history, theory, applications, resolution, limitations and future directions for each technique whiles hands-on demonstrations will investigate the propoerites of a nano-material common throughout the course; the physical properties of carbon nanotubes. Students will learn the applicability, advantages and limitations of each instrument in investigations on carbon nanotubes. NAU will recruit from its large community of Native American, Hispanic students for this course.

北亚利桑那大学（NAU）的纳米技术本科教育（NUE）项目名为“纳米世界的仪器仪表”，由Lawrence M. Fritz博士指导，由工程理事会（ENG）、工程教育和中心部（EEC）、数学和物理科学理事会（MPS）、材料研究部（DMR）和生物科学理事会（BIO）共同资助。一个多学科的教师团队将开发和教授一门新的、低层次的、基于实验室的纳米科学和纳米技术现代仪器的本科课程。课程将包括讲座和动手演示，涉及电子显微镜，扫描力显微镜，核磁共振，质谱，光谱学和工程微制造。讲座主题将包括每种技术的历史、理论、应用、解决方案、限制和未来方向，而实际演示将调查整个课程中常见的纳米材料的特性；碳纳米管的物理性质。学生将了解每种仪器在碳纳米管研究中的适用性、优点和局限性。NAU将从其庞大的美洲原住民和西班牙裔学生社区中招募本课程的学生。
