This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to Louisiana Tech University supports Dr. Hisham Hegab, Mechanical Engineering Program, for his work to teach fundamental concepts of nanosystems engineering to engineering and science students within the College of Engineering & Science at Louisiana Tech University and to invigorate interest in science and engineering through demonstrations to local high schools in northern Louisiana. The project investigators will create a series of hands-on active learning modules targeted for different educational levels (e.g, high school students, freshman undergraduates, sophomore undergraduates) to teach fundamental concepts in nanotechnology such as nanostructures, scanning probe methods, nanofabrication techniques, and fundamental phenomena in nanoscale materials. These learning modules will be incorporated into existing curricula through courses at the freshman level and by the development of a new sophomore-level course entitled "Fundamentals of Nanosystems Engineering". The course materials developed for this project will also be made available through a web-based online set of manuals and through the National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Digital Library (NSDL) so that they may be used by other institutions across the nation. The project investigators will also perform outreach demonstrations using some of the modules to regional secondary schools around Louisiana Tech and at University sponsored outreach events.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE and was jointly funded by the Division of Design, Manufacture and Industrial Innovation (DMII) and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) both in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG).

这在本科教育纳米技术（NUE）奖路易斯安那理工大学支持希沙姆Hegab博士，机械工程计划，他的工作，教纳米系统工程的基本概念，工程和科学的学生在路易斯安那理工大学的工程科学学院内，并通过示范激发对科学和工程的兴趣当地高中在北方路易斯安那州。 项目研究人员将创建一系列针对不同教育水平（例如，高中生，大一本科生，大二本科生）的动手主动学习模块，以教授纳米技术的基本概念，如纳米结构，扫描探针方法，纳米纤维技术和纳米材料的基本现象。 这些学习模块将通过大一课程和开发题为“纳米系统工程基础”的新的预科课程纳入现有课程。 为该项目开发的课程材料也将通过基于网络的在线手册集和国家科学，技术，工程和数学教育数字图书馆（NSDL）提供，以便全国其他机构使用。 项目调查人员还将使用一些模块进行外展演示，以路易斯安那理工大学周围的地区中学和大学赞助的外展活动。该奖项的提案是为了响应纳米科学和工程教育公告，NSF 03-044，NUE类别，并由设计部共同资助，制造和工业创新（DMII）和工程教育和中心（EEC）的部门都在工程局（ENG）。
