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的本科教育奖（NUE）奖项支持Ramesh Agarwal博士和航空航天与机械工程系Da Ren Chen博士，以开发新生和大二学生水平课程，以建立一个纳米技术辅修课程，该课程将由工程学学院的多个部门提供。初中和高级阶段已经有纳米技术的现有课程。该项目将弥合纳米技术研究与本科培训之间的差距，并最终导致纳米技术领域的出色本科科学和工程课程。Wustl的纳米技术课程开发将对Wustl以及圣路易斯地区和整个Missouri的LOUIS LOUIS地区的本科教育的纳米技术课程产生重大影响。 此外，当地工业（例如波音公司）不仅对在这一领域拥有训练有素的工程劳动力，而且对派遣其当前员工在该领域的Wustl上课。由于Wustl的代表人数不足，因此该项目在吸引这群学生选择该领域的职业方面的影响将是重要的。 该奖项的提案是针对NAUSCAL科学和工程教育公告，NSF 03-044（类别NUE）收到的，并由工程局的电气和通信系统（ECS）资助。
