NUE: A Tour in Nano-Land and Understanding the Nano-Landscape: Developing Multidisciplinary NUE Courses

这在本科教育纳米技术（NUE）奖加州州立大学长海滩（CSULB）支持博士Tulin E。电子工程系主任，物理和天文学系Chuhee Kwon博士和Andrew Z.梅森，生物科学系为他们的工作，以发展低年级班在CSULB在纳米科学和纳米技术领域。这一建议要求资金，使CSULB积极扩大和发展课程，为双方，本科专业和非专业的学生，并增加一个教师培训部分，以提高普遍认识，促进职业选择，以填补这个迅速增长的空缺能力，该计划旨在实现以下目标：1）为工程和科学专业的大二和大三学生开发一个关于纳米技术的跨学科调查课程; 2）开发一个讲座和实验相结合的大三/大四课程，使学生深入了解纳米科学和工程中使用的技术;以及3）生成基于网络的资源和交互模块，这些资源和交互模块是专门针对理工科教师准备班的远程学习而设计的。课程将涵盖生命科学，生物技术和医学，物理学，材料电子环境监测的具体应用实例，并让学生使用AFM，SEM，X射线显微镜，机器人远程监控等仪器（远程机器人）和纳米机器人，基于网络的实验室模块。该奖项的建议是在响应纳米科学和工程教育（NSEE）的公告，NSF 03-044，NUE类，由工程教育和中心（EEC）在工程局（ENG）和材料研究（DMR）在数学和物理科学局（MPS）的司共同资助。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to California State University-Long Beach (CSULB) supports Dr. Tulin E. Mangir, Department of Electrical Engineering, Dr. Chuhee Kwon, Department of Physics and Astronomy, and Dr. Andrew Z. Mason, Department of Biological Sciences for their work to develop lower division classes at CSULB in the areas of nano-sciences and nano-technology.This proposal requests funding to enable CSULB to pro-actively expand and develop curricula for both, undergraduate major and non-major students, and also to add a teacher training component to increase general awareness and promote career options to fill the vacant capacity in this rapidly growing discipline.The proposal aims to accomplish the following goals: 1) development of an interdisciplinary survey course on nano-technology designed for engineering and science majors in their sophomore and/junior year; 2) development of a junior/senior course with a combination of lecture and laboratory that provides students with an in-depth understanding of the techniques used in nanoscale science and engineering; and 3) generation of web-based resources and interaction modules designed for distance learning aimed specifically for science and engineering teacher preparation classes. The courses will cover specific application examples in life sciences, biotechnology and medicine, physics, materials electronics environmental monitoring, and expose students to use of instrumentation such as AFM, SEM, X-Ray Microscopes, Remote Monitoring of Robots (Tele-robotoics) and Nano-robots, web-based laboratory modules.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education (NSEE) announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE and was jointly funded by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG)and the Division of Materials Research (DMR) in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS).
