NUE: In Situ Real-Time Atomic Scale Nanomaterials Synthesis, Characterization and Modeling for Undergraduate Education

这项纳米技术本科教育（NUE）奖授予亚利桑那州立大学，支持固体科学中心的Ray W. Carpenter博士及其同事Marilyn Carlson教授（应用数学与科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教学方法）、Jeff Drucker教授（物理学）、Stephan Goodnick教授（电子工程）、Vincent Pizziconi教授（生物工程）、Andrew Chizmeshya博士（物理学）、Michael McKelvy博士（化学）、B. L. Ramakrishna教授（化学和植物生物学）和Renu Sharma博士（化学）通过利用现有的尖端纳米科学和工程研究项目为本科课程提供教学模块和高级论文项目的机会，在三个层次上教授纳米科学和工程的抽象概念和属性依赖于长度尺度。这个项目的目标学生水平是：一年级的优等生，二年级已经完成微积分的学生，以及参加高级项目的高级本科生。该奖项的提案是响应纳米科学与工程教育公告，NSF 03-44， NUE类别，由工程理事会（ENG）的工程教育和中心部（EEC），材料研究部（DMR）和数学科学理事会（MPS）的数学科学部（DMS）共同资助。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to Arizona State University supports Dr. Ray W. Carpenter, Center for Solid State Science, along with colleagues Prof. Marilyn Carlson (applied mathematics and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teaching methods), Prof. Jeff Drucker (Physics), Prof. Stephan Goodnick (Electrical Engineering), Prof. Vincent Pizziconi (Bioengineering), Dr. Andrew Chizmeshya (Physics), Dr. Michael McKelvy (Chemistry), Prof. B. L. Ramakrishna (Chemistry and Plant Biology), and Dr. Renu Sharma (Chemistry)to teach undergraduates, at three levels, the abstract concepts and properties dependence on length scales of nanoscience and engineering by leveraging existing cutting edge nanoscience and engineering research projects to produce teaching modules for undergraduate classes and opportunities for senior thesis projects. The levels of students who will be targeted in this program are: first year honors students, second year students who have completed calculus, and advanced undergraduates participating in senior projects. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education announcement, NSF 03-44, category NUE and was jointly funded by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), the Division of Materials Research (DMR) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) both in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS).
