Nanotechnology Rural Education Initiative (NANOredi)

纳米技术农村教育倡议(NANOredi)建立在达科他县技术学院(DCTC)与明尼苏达大学纳米加工中心合作的ATE MnNANO项目的成功基础上。NANOredi的纳米科学技术证书项目为来自明尼苏达州东南部农村社区的有兴趣从事纳米科学职业的学生提供过渡机会，然后转到大都市学院或大学。明尼苏达州立大学东南技术学院的证书计划包括在DCTC计划的第一年提供的三门核心纳米科学课程，以及普通教育、数学和科学课程。NANOredi与拉什福德纳米技术研究所合作，还为行业、政府、社区组织和教育机构的领导人举办了一次地区性纳米技术会议，以提高人们对纳米技术机遇和趋势的认识。

The Nanotechnology Rural Education Initiative (NANOredi) builds upon the success of Dakota County Technical College's (DCTC) ATE MnNANO project in partnership with the University of Minnesota's Nanofabrication Center. NANOredi's Nanoscience Technology certificate program provides students from rural communities in southeast Minnesota, who are interested in pursuing careers in nanoscience, with transitional opportunities before transferring to a metropolitan college or university. Minnesota State College-Southeast Technical's certificate program includes the three core nanoscience courses that are offered in the first year of the DCTC program as well as general education math and science courses. NANOredi, in partnership with the Rushford Institute for Nanotechnology, also provides a regional Nanotechnology Conference for leaders in industry, government, community organizations, and educational institutions to raise awareness of the opportunities and trends in nanotechnology.
