Aerosol science and engineering is a multidisciplinary field with diverse applications, and there is a great demand for trained individuals in this field. A comprehensive web based program is being developed to enhance the abilities of undergraduate students and instill in them an interest to understand its complex principles. The program consists of seven modules: (1) Basics, (2) Transport, (3) Instrumentation, (4) Collection Devices, (5) Nanoparticles, (6) Atmospheric Aerosols and (7) Health Care. Each module contains two parts: (1) a narrative for principles illustrated by dynamic animation with real-world contextual materials; and (2) an interactive web calculator for design/assessment or a web simulator for virtual operation. These modules can be used individually or as integrated unit. Several types of evaluation, from front-end evaluation in the development phase to summative and pilot evaluations to assess the level of knowledge delivered, are being carried out with the participation of both faculty and student users. Test modules of this unique program are being broadly disseminated through the Internet (http://aerosol.ees.ufl.edu/ or http://www.aerosols.wustl.edu/aaqrl/courses/cycopcresp/ ) to different types of institutions with diverse student backgrounds. Dissemination is also facilitated by national associations and through supplements to existing textbooks. The intellectual merit of the project is evident by the strong support received from the aerosol community and diverse types of institutions. This educational tool not only aids in the learning process, but also increases awareness of Aerosol Science and Technology. The success of the program brings about broad impacts to the nation as it helps provide the necessary human resources to keep the nation technologically competitive and economically strong. The multidisciplinary approach expands students' vision and training to an open ended and creative one. The collaboration among diverse institutions in the development and implementation phases will help in a broader dissemination of scientific knowledge to diverse groups.

气溶胶科学与工程是一个具有多种应用的多学科领域，对该领域受过培训的人员的需求很大。 正在开发一个基于网络的综合程序，以提高本科生的能力，并培养他们理解其复杂原理的兴趣。 该计划由七个模块组成：(1) 基础知识、(2) 运输、(3) 仪器、(4) 收集设备、(5) 纳米颗粒、(6) 大气气溶胶和 (7) 医疗保健。 每个模块包含两个部分：（1）通过动态动画和现实世界背景材料说明原理的叙述； (2) 用于设计/评估的交互式网络计算器或用于虚拟操作的网络模拟器。 这些模块可以单独使用，也可以作为集成单元使用。 在教师和学生用户的参与下，正在开展多种类型的评估，从开发阶段的前端评估到评估所提供知识水平的总结性和试点评估。 这个独特项目的测试模块正在通过互联网（http://aerosol.ees.ufl.edu/ 或 http://www.aerosols.wustl.edu/aaqrl/courses/cycopcresp/ ）广泛传播到具有不同学生背景的不同类型的机构。 国家协会和现有教科书的补充也促进了传播。该项目的智力优势通过气溶胶界和各类机构的大力支持显而易见。 这种教育工具不仅有助于学习过程，还可以提高对气溶胶科学和技术的认识。该计划的成功给国家带来了广泛的影响，因为它有助于提供必要的人力资源，以保持国家的技术竞争力和经济实力。 多学科方法将学生的视野和培训扩展到开放式和创造性的。 不同机构在制定和实施阶段的合作将有助于向不同群体更广泛地传播科学知识。
