This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "NUE: New Vision for Built Environment-Integration of Nanotechnology into Civil Engineering Undergraduate Curriculum," at Jackson State University, under the direction of Dr. Wei Zheng, will bring together a multidisciplinary and multiorganizational team from Jackson State University (JSU), an Historically Black University, the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA), University of Oklahoma (UO), and include partnerships with industries and Canadian Institute of Research in Construction. The project goals include: introducing the application and cutting-edge research development of nanotechnology in civil engineering to undergraduates, updating the mainstream civil engineering curriculum, and developing new teaching strategies to achieve undergraduate educational outcomes.Intellectual Merit: The project initiates original multi-disciplinary collaborative efforts to enhance the curriculum of Construction Materials with nanotechnology-enabling materials and devices. It will provide students basic understanding of the fundamental principals of nanotechnology and its application in civil engineering, and well prepare them to work with nanotechnology in the future. Broader Impacts: The new course modules developed for the Construction Materials course will be integrated into other courses related to civil engineering. These modules will be implemented at the three participating universities and will be available for implementation nationwide. This project will help facilitate future collaboration to establish a new advanced joint curriculum of Structure Control for students in the civil engineering, mechanical engineering and technology department amoung participating universities and will help to strengthen the civil engineering program at both JSU and UTPA.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) Program Solicitation (NSF 06-538) and is being co-funded by the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), Division of Design and Manufacturing Innovation (DMI), the Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems (CMS), and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC).

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）计划题为“NUE：建筑环境的新视野-纳米技术融入土木工程本科课程，”在杰克逊州立大学，在魏铮博士的指导下，将汇集来自杰克逊州立大学（JSU），一个历史上的黑人大学，得克萨斯大学泛美（UTPA），俄克拉荷马州大学（UO），并包括与工业和加拿大建筑研究所的伙伴关系。 项目目标包括：向本科生介绍纳米科技在土木工程的应用及最新研究发展，更新主流土木工程课程，并发展新的教学策略，以达致本科生的教育成果。学术成就：本项目开创多学科合作的先河，以纳米科技材料及器件提升建筑材料课程。 它将使学生对纳米技术的基本原理及其在土木工程中的应用有基本的了解，并为他们将来使用纳米技术做好准备。 更广泛的影响：为建筑材料课程开发的新课程单元将纳入与土木工程有关的其他课程。 这些单元将在三所参与大学实施，并将在全国范围内实施。 该项目将有助于促进未来的合作，为土木工程专业的学生建立新的高级结构控制联合课程，机械工程与技术系是参与大学的一部分，将有助于加强JSU和UTPA的土木工程项目。该奖项的提案是为了响应纳米技术本科教育（NUE）项目征集而收到的（NSF 06-538），并由工程局（ENG），设计和制造创新部（DEMA），土木和机械系统部（CMS）以及工程教育和中心部（EEC）共同资助。
