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.

圣路易斯华盛顿大学本科教育纳米技术 (NUE) 奖项支持航空航天与机械工程系的 Ramesh Agarwal 博士和 Da Ren Chen 博士开发大一和大二课程，以建立纳米技术辅修课程，这些课程将由工程学院的多个系提供。现有初级和高级纳米技术课程。该项目将弥合纳米技术研究和本科生培训之间的差距，并最终形成纳米技术领域优秀的本科生科学与工程课程。WUSTL 的纳米技术课程开发将对 WUSTL 以及圣路易斯地区和整个密苏里州的本科生教育产生重大影响。 此外，当地工业（例如波音）不仅对在该领域拥有一支训练有素的工程人员非常感兴趣，而且还希望派现有员工到 WUSTL 参加该领域的课程。由于 WUSTL 拥有大量代表性不足的少数族裔，因此该项目对于吸引这群学生选择该领域的职业的影响将是巨大的。 该奖项的提案是为了响应纳米科学与工程教育公告（NSF 03-044，NUE 类别）而收到的，并由工程理事会电气和通信系统 (ECS) 部门资助。
