This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to Washington University in St. Louis supports Dr. Ramesh Agarwal and Dr. Da Ren Chen, Department of Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, to develop freshman and sophomore level courses for establishing a nanotechnology minor that will be offered by several departments in the College of Engineering. There are already existing courses in nanotechnology at junior and senior level. This project will bridge the gap between nanotechnology research and undergraduate training, and eventually lead to an excellent undergraduate science and engineering curriculum in the nanotechnology arena.The nanotechnology curriculum development at WUSTL will have significant impact on undergraduate education at WUSTL as well as in the St. Louis region and throughout the state of Missouri. Additionally, local industry (e.g. Boeing) is very interested in not only in having a trained engineering work force in this area but also in sending their current employees to take courses at WUSTL in this field. Since WUSTL has a significant number of underrepresented minorities, the impact of this project in attracting this group of students to choose a career in this field will be significant. 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 Electrical and Communications Systems (ECS) in the Directorate for Engineering.

这在本科教育（NUE）奖华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校支持博士拉梅什Agarwal和博士大仁陈，航空航天机械工程系，开发大一和大二水平的课程，建立一个纳米技术未成年人，将在工程学院的几个部门提供。目前已有初级和高级的纳米技术课程。该项目将弥合纳米技术研究和本科生培训之间的差距，并最终导致一个优秀的本科科学和工程课程在纳米技术竞技场。WUSTL的纳米技术课程开发将有重大影响，在WUSTL的本科教育，以及在圣路易斯地区和整个密苏里州的状态。 此外，当地工业（如波音公司）不仅对在这一领域拥有训练有素的工程技术人员非常感兴趣，而且还对派遣现有员工参加WUSTL在这一领域的课程非常感兴趣。由于WUSTL有大量代表性不足的少数民族，这个项目在吸引这群学生选择这一领域的职业生涯的影响将是显着的。 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，并由工程局电气和通信系统（ECS）部门资助。
