NUE: An Integrated Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education Program at the University of New Mexico

在Marwan S. Al-Haik博士的指导下，新墨西哥大学的纳米技术本科教育（NUE）工程项目名为“NUE：综合多学科纳米技术本科教育项目”，将开发新的实验和教学方法，向本科生介绍纳米技术领域，重点是纳米系统和纳米器件。这种新颖的方法将包括在开发或修订的每门课程中利用纳米技术领域的实践经验。“纳米技术探索课程”将由两个相互关联的本科工程材料科学核心课程组成，并辅以三个纳米技术模块。学生在探索课程中获得的基本纳米技术概念和实验技能将与四个工程系开设的“纳米系统和纳米器件设计课程”联系起来。最后，纳米系统/纳米器件的教育和研究将通过将本科生纳入pi的纳米技术研究活动而结合起来。该奖项的提案是响应工程项目纳米技术本科教育（NUE）招标（NSF 07-554）而收到的，由工程理事会（ENG）、工程教育和中心部（EEC）以及土木、机械和制造创新部（CMMI）资助。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, NUE: An Integrated Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education Program at the University of New Mexico, under the direction of Dr. Marwan S. Al-Haik, will develop new experiments and pedagogical methods that introduce undergraduate students to the field of nanotechnology with emphasis on nanosystems and nanodevices. This novel approach will include the utilization of hands-on experience in the field of nanotechnology in every course developed or revised. "Nanotechnology Discovery Courses" will be introduced that comprise two interlocking undergraduate Engineering Materials Science core courses enriched with three nanotechnology modules. The fundamental nanotechnology concepts and the experimental skills acquired by the students in the discovery courses will be tied to a "Nanosystems and Nanodevices Design Course" course offered to four engineering departments. Finally, nanosystem/nanodevice education and research will be meshed via the incorporation of undergradutes into the PIs nanotechnology research activities.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering Program Solicitation (NSF 07-554), and is being funded by the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) and the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI).
