NUE: The Nanotechnology Certificate Program at Georgia Tech

在Sankar Nair博士的指导下，佐治亚理工学院的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)工程学计划名为NUE：纳米技术证书计划，将在佐治亚理工学院(GT)建立本科纳米技术证书计划。拟议项目的总体目标是创新地影响本科水平的纳米技术教育。证书课程将在“自上而下”和“自下而上”的纳米制造方法的背景下，通过一个良好整合的动手实验室和课堂教学计划，在纳米技术的“支柱”--纳米设备/系统、纳米尺度表征和纳米材料--之间架起桥梁。同时，它将通过特邀演讲计划，对纳米技术实践中的问题及其潜在的社会影响提供实质性的阐述。因此，该课程的毕业生将处于有利地位，作为工业、政府和学术界的科学和技术劳动力的一部分，制定和实施基于纳米技术的解决方案。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled NUE: The Nanotechnology Certificate Program at Georgia Tech, under the direction of Dr. Sankar Nair, will establish the undergraduate Nanotechnology Certificate Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GT). The overall goal of the proposed project is to innovatively impact nanotechnology education at the undergraduate level. The Certificate curriculum will bridge the "pillars" of nanotechnology-nanodevices/systems, nanoscale characterization, and nanomaterials-in the context of both the "top down" and bottom up" nanofabrication approaches, via a well-integrated program of hands-on laboratory and classroom instructions. Concurrently, it will provide substantial expposure to issues in nanotechnology practice and its potential societal impacts, through an invited speaker program. Graduates of the program will thus be in an advantageous position to formulate and implement nanotechnology-based solutions as part of the science and technology workforce in industry, government, and academia.
