This NUE award from the Divisions of Physics and Chemistry in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Directorate for Geosciences enables Kenyon College to introduce nanoscience concepts to both science and nonscience majors within the context of a liberal arts college. We will develop instructional modules for introductory physics and chemistry lectures and laboratories so that all students of these classes will receive training in nanoscience concepts. In addition, modules will be developed for more advanced physics and chemistry classes and seminar courses pertaining to nanoscience and nanotechnology so that nanoscience concepts will be integrated into courses from the first year through participation by students in research. Modules will also address non-science-majors classes. The modules will primarily make use of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and the development of a source of entangled photons. While the AFM will provide our students the opportunity for "hands-on" imaging and manipulation of matter at the nanoscale, the source of entangled photons will illustrate the principles of the next generation of information technology (i.e., quantum computation). By introducing these two key ideas in nanoscience and nanotechnology, we hope to encourage our undergraduate students to pursue careers in the revolutionary field of nanotechnology in the future.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE.

这个NUE奖从物理和化学司在数学和物理科学理事会和地球科学理事会使凯尼恩学院介绍纳米科学的概念，以科学和非科学专业的文科大学的背景下。我们将开发物理和化学入门讲座和实验室的教学模块，使这些类的所有学生将接受纳米科学概念的培训。此外，还将为更高级的物理和化学课程以及与纳米科学和纳米技术有关的研讨课程开发模块，以便通过学生参与研究，从第一年起将纳米科学概念纳入课程。模块也将解决非科学专业类。这些模块将主要利用原子力显微镜（AFM）和纠缠光子源的开发。虽然原子力显微镜将为我们的学生提供在纳米尺度上对物质进行“动手”成像和操纵的机会，但纠缠光子的来源将说明下一代信息技术的原理（即，量子计算）。通过介绍纳米科学和纳米技术中的这两个关键思想，我们希望鼓励我们的本科生在未来的纳米技术革命领域从事职业生涯。该奖项的建议是响应纳米科学与工程教育公告，NSF 03-044，类别NUE。
