PROPOSAL NUMBER.: 0407218INSTITUTION: University of ArkansasNSF PROGRAM: NANOTECHNOLOGY UNDERGRAD EDUCATION (NUE)PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Deaton, Russell J.PROPOSAL TITLE: NUE: Integrating nanoscale science and technology into introductory computer science coursesAbstract:In this project, by writing programs in their first two courses that simulate important molecular properties, freshmen Computer Science students are introduced to emerging technology in Nano-scale Science and Engineering. In the first course, students write programs that design DNA molecules for forming structures and doing computations. In addition, the biological role of DNA in the cell is introduced and reinforced through programming work. In the second course, students will learn about quantum computation by simulating the random placement of nano-scale dots. In both courses, fundamental Computer Science knowledge is related to research questions in nanotechnology, and the interdisciplinary nature of the research is emphasized. The main goal of the project is to get students interested in nano-scale research early in their college careers, and to have the students participate in research through their classroom experiences. The course material developed will be publicly available for use by other institutions through the Internet and CD-ROM. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nano-scale Science and Engineering Education announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE.

建议编号：0407218 INSTUTION：阿肯色大学NSF计划：纳米技术本科教育(NUE)首席研究员：Deaton，Russell J.PROPOSAL标题：NUE：将纳米科学和技术整合到计算机科学入门课程摘要：在这个项目中，通过在他们的前两门课程中编写模拟重要分子性质的程序，计算机科学专业的一年级学生被介绍到纳米科学和工程中的新兴技术。在第一门课程中，学生们编写程序，设计DNA分子来形成结构和进行计算。此外，还介绍了DNA在细胞中的生物学作用，并通过编程工作加以加强。在第二节课中，学生将通过模拟纳米级点的随机放置来学习量子计算。在这两门课程中，基本的计算机科学知识都与纳米技术的研究问题有关，并强调研究的跨学科性质。该项目的主要目标是让学生在大学生涯早期就对纳米级研究感兴趣，并通过课堂经验让学生参与研究。编写的课程材料将通过因特网和光盘向公众开放，供其他机构使用。该奖项的提案是对NSF 03-044类纳米科学和工程教育公告的回应。
