This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to Case Western Reserve University supports Dr. Alexis Abramson, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Case Western Reserve University to develop "Nanoworlds" - a durable, scalable, content-rich, multi-level, user-negotiable, web-facilitated seminar format for the learning of and discussion of nanotechnology. This undergraduate seminar to be offered at Case will present nanotechnology from the points of view of the scientific, technological, social and economic impact perspectives. Nanoworlds is an early years undergraduate course suitable for general audiences, which uses material in a co-developed digitally archived web encyclopedia resource known as the Nanopedia. The Nanoworlds seminar will enable learning of an elemental core of nanoscience and nanoengineering concepts. Additionally, class members will explore various paths in the Nanopedia (and beyond) according to their interests for general discussion and in-depth reporting. These electronic paths of the Nanopedia include the evolving business portfolio triggered by the nanoworld, public policy issues, nanotechnology in emerging everyday products, limits to technology's reach, the science and art museums of nanotechnology, etc. The encyclopedia functions as a highly interconnected resource for both core and elective topics. Nanopedia content will be multiply-authored and multiply-edited, and content contributions will sought from acknowledged experts in the field as well as from the course professors. Additionally, the Nanopedia, as further developed under this award, will be used as a complementary resource for the engineering core courses offered at Case to facilitate integration of concepts relating to nanoscience and nanoengineering into these more traditionally oriented courses.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE and was funded by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering.

本科教育（NUE）奖凯斯西储大学支持亚历克西斯艾布拉姆森博士，机械和航空航天工程系，凯斯西储大学开发“纳米世界”-一个持久的，可扩展的，内容丰富的，多层次的，用户可协商的，网络促进研讨会的形式，学习和讨论纳米技术。这个本科生研讨会将在凯斯提供将从科学，技术，社会和经济影响的角度来看纳米技术。Nanoworlds是一门适合普通观众的早期本科课程，它使用了共同开发的数字存档网络百科全书资源（称为Nanopedia）中的材料。纳米世界研讨会将使学习纳米科学和纳米工程概念的基本核心。此外，班级成员将根据他们的兴趣探索纳米媒体（及其他）的各种途径，进行一般讨论和深入报道。这些电子路径的纳米百科全书包括不断发展的业务组合引发的世界，公共政策问题，纳米技术在新兴的日常产品，限制技术的影响，科学和艺术博物馆的纳米技术等百科全书功能作为一个高度互联的资源，为核心和选修科目。纳米百科的内容将是多重创作和多重编辑，内容的贡献将从该领域的公认专家以及课程教授那里寻求。此外，纳米百科全书，作为进一步发展下，这个奖项，将被用来作为一个补充资源的工程核心课程提供的情况下，以促进有关纳米科学和纳米工程的概念整合到这些更传统的导向课程。这个奖项的建议是在响应纳米科学和工程教育公告，NSF 03-044，NUE类，由工程教育和中心（EEC）在工程局的司资助。
