NUE: Nanodevices and NanoEngineering Laboratory at University of Pittsburgh

匹兹堡大学的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)项目名为“NUE：匹兹堡大学的纳米设备和纳米工程实验室”，由Minhee Yun博士指导，将在工程学院本科课程的第二年开设一门关于集成纳米科学和工程的三学分选修课，为本科教育提供创造性的机会。智力优势：拟议的新综合课程将提供课堂讲课、实验室工作、团队项目和网络支持的教学相结合。更广泛的影响：该项目将对本科生进行科学和工程纳米技术实验的设计和执行方面的培训。拟议的课程将为教育提供大量的实践机会，并接触到广泛的公众受众。此外，NUE项目和现有的NSF资助的教师研究经验(RET)计划将被设计为在工程教育、纳米研究和K-12教育之间建立桥梁。该奖项的提议是应纳米技术本科教育计划(NSF 06-538)的邀请而收到的，并由工程局(ENG)、电气和通信系统司(ECS)和工程教育和中心司资助。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "NUE: Nanodevices and NanoEngineering Laboratory at University of Pittsburgh," at the University of Pittsburgh, under the direction of Dr. Minhee Yun will develop a three-credit elective course on integrated nanoscale science and engineering into the second year of the undergraduate curriculum of the School of Engineering that will provide creative opportunities for undergraduate education. Intellectual Merit: The proposed new integrated course will provide a combination of class lectures, laboratory work, a team project, and web-supported instruction. Broader Impacts: The program will serve to train undergraduate students in the design and execution of experiments in nanotechnology of science and engineering. The proposed course wil provide significant hands-on opportunities for education and reach a broad public audience. In addition, the NUE project and the existing NSF funded Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program will be designed to build bridges among engineering education and nanoscale research and K-12 education.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) Program Solicitation (NSF 06-538), and is being funded by the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), Division of Electrical and Communications Systems (ECS) and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers.
