Chemistry (12). This collaborative project is seeking to improve the quality of STEM education by incorporating innovative modules focusing on nano- and bio-nanotechnology and related fields throughout the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. The research expertise at a private graduate institution is being used to develop similar faculty expertise at a public four-year college and a community college. Laboratory modules, originating from research projects on nanomaterials, are being developed and tested in courses at the three institutions as a means of stimulating student interest in nanotechnology, nanoscience, and bio-related areas. This collaboration is creating a network of practicing educators across a diverse set of campuses who can share expertise as they implement new guided inquiry-based teaching strategies. Project goals include (1) engaging undergraduate STEM students in the active learning of important nanotechnology concepts and applications in modern society; (2) demonstrating that nanotechnology is truly interdisciplinary and is relevant in general, physical, inorganic, analytical and biochemistry laboratories. The Broader Impact of this project lies in the education and training of students and teachers in the emerging field of nano- and bio-nanotechnology across ethnically and academically diverse student populations as well as in promoting student entry into nanotechnology and related fields.

化学（12）。该合作项目旨在通过在本科化学课程中纳入专注于纳米和生物纳米技术及相关领域的创新模块来提高STEM教育的质量。一所私立研究生院的研究专长正被用于在一所公立四年制大学和一所社区大学培养类似的教师专长。三所院校的课程正在开发和测试源自纳米材料研究项目的实验室单元，以激发学生对纳米技术、纳米科学和生物相关领域的兴趣。这种合作正在创建一个由不同校园的实践教育工作者组成的网络，他们可以在实施新的基于指导性探究的教学策略时分享专业知识。项目目标包括（1）让本科STEM学生积极学习现代社会中重要的纳米技术概念和应用;（2）证明纳米技术是真正的跨学科，并与一般物理，无机，分析和生物化学实验室相关。 该项目的更广泛的影响在于教育和培训的学生和教师在新兴领域的纳米和生物纳米技术跨越种族和学术多样化的学生群体，以及在促进学生进入纳米技术和相关领域。
