NUE: An Evolutionary Approach to Nanoscience Education across the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

该提案是对NSF 05-543类纳米科学和工程教育倡议的回应。通过这个由化学系资助的奖项，詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学的Brian H.Augustine教授和他的合作者将开发一个垂直整合的纳米科学化学课程，目标是广泛的学生，包括科学和非科学专业的学生，以及任职前的初中和高中教师。拟议工作的一些更广泛的影响来自这个国家大学团队将通过期刊出版、会议演示和在互联网上发布材料(包括国家数字科学图书馆)来传播课程材料的努力。此外，纽埃大学团队将与私营部门合作伙伴合作，开发商业微米和纳米材料设备和模块，供其他大学或高中使用，以演示微/纳米技术主题。

This proposal was received in response to Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education initiative, NSF 05-543, category NUE. Through this award, funded by the Chemistry Division, Prof. Brian H. Augustine and his collaborators at James Madison University will develop a vertically integrated nanoscience curriculum in chemistry, targeting a broad range of students, including science and non-science majors, as well as pre-service middle- and high-school teachers.Some broader impacts of the proposed work come from the efforts that this NUE team will make through dissemination of curricular materials through journal publication, conference presentation, and posting of material on the internet, including the National Digital Science Library. In addition, the NUE team will be working with a private-sector partner to develop commercial micro- and nanofabricated devices and modules for use by other colleges or high schools to demonstrate micro/nanotechnology topics.
