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

工程-工程技术本项目的主要目标是建立一个可视化和操纵纳米级组件的教学实验室。纳米技术领域中纳米级元件的可视化和操作有许多应用，包括自下而上的纳米制造和DNA和病毒的操作，单电子晶体管的原型设计，以及微机电系统（MEMS）和半导体的表征和监测。该合作项目包括为SUNYIT和MVCC的两年制和四年制工程技术课程开发教学材料。该实验室通过为学生和教师提供开发学习材料和动手实验设施的工具来促进教学。pi正在从事专业发展，以开发在该设施中使用的技术。在完成实验和初步教学材料的开发后，pi将培训和协助其他教师进一步应用。该实验室为SUNYIT和MVCC现有的和新推出的纳米技术和半导体制造技术课程提供实践经验，这两所大学都提供以实践为导向的技术认证委员会工程技术认证委员会（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.
