NUE: Development and Dissemination of a Sophomore Course in Nano-Science, Engineering and Technology

这在本科教育（NUE）纳米技术奖的罗切斯特技术研究所支持博士谢尔盖E。Lyshevski，电气工程系沿着与微电子工程，物理系和生物科学系的同事一起开发，评估和传播纳米科学，工程和技术（NanoSET）课程。本课程将整合六个核心领域：（1）纳米科学和工程的基础知识;（2）纳米尺度的新物理和化学现象;（3）纳米材料和纳米纤维;（4）分子，碳和硅基纳米电子学;（5）纳米系统和仿生学;（6）动手nanoFab和nanoCAD实验室。此外，还将介绍道德、社会问题、经济影响、领导力和创业主题。拟议的课程整合纳米科学和工程的重要组成部分，在一个统一的跨学科纳米技术设置。来自工程，科学和文科学院的教师将参与开发和教学这门课程。将编写和分发课堂笔记、实验、作业、手册以及其他课程材料和教学工具。作为传播工作的一部分，将开发和有效维持一个互动网站，概述课程内容，并允许免费下载所有课程材料。我们将利用最佳实践，并加强现有的课程，纳米技术，纳米科学和纳米工程的不同成功的纳米技术课程。该奖项的建议是在响应纳米科学和工程教育公告，NSF 03-044，类别NUE，并由工程教育和中心（EEC）部门共同资助工程局和教育和人力资源局的教育和人力资源司。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to the Rochester Institute of Technology supports Dr. Sergey E. Lyshevski, Department of Electrical Engineering along with colleagues from Microlectronic Engineering, Department of Physics and the Department of Biological Sciences to develop, evaluate and disseminate a course Nano-Science, Engineering and Technology (NanoSET). This course will integrate six core areas: (1) fundamentals of nano-science and engineering; (2) new physical and chemical phenomena at nanoscale; (3) nanomaterials and nanofabrication; (4) molecular-, carbon- and silicon-based nanoelectronics; (5) nanosystems and biomimetics; (6) hands-on nanoFab and nanoCAD laboratories. In addition, ethics, social issues, economic impact, leadership and entrepreneurship topics will be introduced. The proposed course integrates vital components of nanoscale science and engineering in a unified interdisciplinary nanotechnology setting. Faculty from the Colleges of Engineering, Science and Liberal Arts will be involved in development and teaching this course. Class notes, experiments, assignments, manuals as well as other course materials and teaching tools will be develop and disseminated. As a part of the dissemination efforts, an interactive web site summarizing the course and allowing free downloading of all course materials will be developed and effectively maintained. We will utilize the best practice and enhance the existing courses in nanotechnology, nanoscience and nanoengineering of different successful Nanotechnology curricula.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 Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering and the Division of Education and Human Resources in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources.
