NUE: Introducing Nanoscale System Design into the Undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering Curriculum

建议数量。项目：纳米技术本科教育项目负责人：Pacelli， andreapproposal题目：NUE：将纳米系统设计引入电气与计算机工程本科课程摘要：纳米技术正迅速从实验阶段向实际应用过渡。纳米电子系统通过实现前所未有的存储和计算能力，有可能彻底改变信息技术。然而，过去的经验表明，利用新技术的力量需要设计师认识到它的优点和局限性，并根据它调整设计方法。因此，为了在未来5年或10年内挖掘纳米系统的潜力，现在就有必要教育工程师了解纳米技术的原理并利用它。这个跨学科项目的目标是将纳米电路和系统设计的基本概念引入到本科电气和计算机工程课程中，将教育和当前的研究结合起来。将开发一个教学模块和辅助CAD软件。纳米电子学的概念将从设计师的角度呈现，强调对信息技术的影响，而不是物理和制造方面。重点将放在信息处理系统优点的典型数字上：计算吞吐量、功耗、可靠性和成本。研究议程将在课堂和项目中进行，探索当前和未来纳米电子方法的设计潜力，并将其与主要的硅技术进行比较。该奖项的提案是响应纳米尺度科学与工程教育公告，NSF 03-044，类别NUE而收到的。

PROPOSAL NUMBER.: 0407183INSTITUTION: State University of New York at Stony BrookNSF PROGRAM: NANOTECHNOLOGY UNDERGRAD EDUCATION PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Pacelli, AndreaPROPOSAL TITLE: NUE: Introducing nanoscale system design into the undergraduate electrical and computer engineering curriculumAbstract:Nanotechnology is rapidly making the transition from the experimental stage to practical application. Nanoelectronic systems have the potential to revolutionize information technology, by achieving unprecedented storage and computation capabilities. However, past experience shows that harnessing the power of a new technology requires designers to appreciate its strengths and limitations, and adapt design methodologies to it. Therefore, to tap the potential of nanosystems five or ten years in the future, it is necessary to educate engineers now to appreciate the principles of nanotechnology and to take advantage of it. This interdisciplinary project has the goal of introducing basic concepts in nanoscale circuit and systems design into the undergraduate electrical and computer engineering curriculum, integrating education and current research. An instructional module and supporting CAD software will be developed. Nanoelectronics concepts will be presented from a designer's point of view, stressing the impact on information technologies rather than physical and fabrication aspects. Emphasis will be placed on the typical figures of merit of information processing systems: Computational throughput, power consumption, reliability, and cost. A research agenda will be carried out both in the classroom and in projects, exploring the design potentials of current and future nanoelectronic approaches and comparing them to the dominant silicon technologies.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE.
