Interdisciplinary Nanoelectronics Laboratory for the Engineering/Science Undergraduate Curriculum

这个CCLI第一阶段的探索性项目包括一个跨学科的纳米电子学实验室，用于工程/科学本科课程。该项目团队正在开发一套10个实验室实验模块，目标受众是二年级的理工科本科生。实验包括使用扫描探针显微镜（SPM），研究电子衍射，量子点吸收光和量子点的光致发光。实践实验课程是对最近由纳米技术本科教育资助的以讲座为基础的课程的补充。理工科本科生的预期成果包括：理解纳米技术的基本概念；动手经验，使用先进的工具来表征，分析和综合实验结果；提高了对纳米技术领域的职业机会的认识。形成性评价和总结性评价两种方法都用于项目评价。评估工作由科学教育领域的一名教员协调。该项目还包括来自两所社区学院的教师协助课程的发展、实施和传播，以及团队积极参与纳米技术互动展览的开发，K-12科学教师进行与展览相关的实验。

Engineering - Electrical (55)This CCLI Phase I exploratory project involves an interdisciplinary Nanoelectronics Laboratory for the Engineering/Science Undergraduate Curriculum. The project team is developing a set of ten laboratory experiment modules for a target audience of second-year science and engineering undergraduate students. The experiments include the use of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), the study of electron diffraction, absorption of light by quantum dots and photoluminescence from quantum dots. The hands-on laboratory course is complementing a recently developed lecture-based course funded by Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education. Anticipated outcomes for science and engineering undergraduate students include: an understanding of fundamental concepts involved in nanotechnology; hands-on experience using advanced tools to characterize, analyze, and synthesize experimental results; and increased awareness of career opportunities in the area of nanotechnology. Both formative and summative evaluation methods are used in project assessment. Evaluation efforts are coordinated by a faculty member in the area of Science Education. The project also includes faculty from two Community colleges assisting in the development, implementation, and dissemination of the course as well as active participation by the team in the development of an interactive exhibit on nanotechnology and K-12 science teachers to perform experiments related to the exhibit.
