Instructional Laboratory for Visualization and Manipulation of Nanoscale Components for Engineering Technology Students

工程-工程技术(58)这个项目的主要目标是建立一个纳米级部件可视化和操纵的教学实验室。纳米器件的可视化和操纵在纳米技术领域有许多应用，包括自下而上的纳米制造和DNA和病毒的操纵，单电子晶体管的原型制作，以及微电子机械系统(MEMS)和半导体的表征和监测。这个合作项目包括为SUNYIT和MVCC的两年和四年工程技术课程开发教学材料。该实验室通过提供开发学习材料的工具和供学生和教职员工使用的动手实验设施来促进教学。PIS正在从事专业开发，以开发在该设施中使用的技术。在完成实验室和初步教学材料的开发后，PIS正在培训和协助其他教员进行进一步的应用。该实验室在SUNYIT和MVCC现有的和新引入的纳米技术和半导体制造技术课程中提供实践经验，这两个课程都提供以实践为导向的技术认证委员会工程与技术认证委员会(TAC/ABET)课程。

Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) The main objective of this project is establishing an instructional laboratory for visualization and manipulation of nanoscale components. Visualization and manipulation of nanoscale components in the field of nanotechnology has many applications including bottom-up nanomanufacturing and the manipulation of DNA and viruses, prototyping of single electron transistors, and characterization and monitoring of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and semiconductors. This collaborative project includes the development of instructional materials for both two and four year engineering technology programs at both SUNYIT and MVCC. The lab facilitates instruction by providing tools to develop learning materials and hands-on experimental facilities for student and faculty use. The PIs are engaging in professional development to develop techniques for use in the facility. After the completion of the lab and development of initial instructional material, the PIs are training and assisting other faculty for further applications. The lab is providing hands-on experience in existing and newly introduced nanotechnology and semiconductor manufacturing technology courses at SUNYIT and MVCC, which both offer practice-oriented Technology Accreditation Commission Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET) programs.
