"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)." This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled "Integration of Nanotechnology into Undergraduate Engineering and Science Education", at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) under the direction of Dr. Lihong (Heidi) Jiao, will develop and integrate a sustainable nanotechnology program, including its technical, ethical and societal dimensions, into the undergraduate engineering and science curricula at GVSU. This proposal aims to develop two curricular courses and an outreach workshop on nanotechnology related topics for classroom and lab activities. The first course on Fundamentals of Nanotechnology will be taught to 40-50 students in their junior year and the follow-on course on Nanosystems Engineering will be taught to 20-30 students in their senior year in parallel to the Senior Capstone project.This proposal has a strong workforce training component with course content that spans across the chemistry, materials, devices and system levels. GVSU is well-poised in terms of its location and student network to contribute considerably to workforce training programs in Michigan. The project improves students' learning and provides them with critical knowledge, skills, and expertise in nanotechnology to assume leading positions in nanotechnology-related fields. The project will provide educational opportunities for K-12 students and educators to learn about nanotechnology and supports the Michigan state government's initiative to diversify its economy to high tech areas through preparing a highly qualified workforce.

“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。“这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划题为“纳米技术整合到本科工程和科学教育”，在大峡谷州立大学（GVSU）根据博士的方向Lihong（海蒂）焦，将开发和整合一个可持续的纳米技术计划，包括其技术，道德和社会层面，到本科工程和科学课程在GVSU。 本提案旨在为课堂和实验室活动开发两门课程和一个关于纳米技术相关主题的外联讲习班。纳米技术基础的第一门课程将在大三向40-50名学生授课，纳米系统工程的后续课程将在大四向20-30名学生授课，与高级顶点项目平行。该提案具有强大的劳动力培训组成部分，课程内容涵盖化学，材料，设备和系统水平。GVSU在其位置和学生网络方面做好了充分的准备，为密歇根州的劳动力培训计划做出了巨大贡献。该项目提高了学生的学习，并为他们提供了关键的知识，技能和纳米技术的专业知识，承担在纳米技术相关领域的领先地位。 该项目将为K-12学生和教育工作者提供学习纳米技术的教育机会，并支持密歇根州政府通过培养高素质的劳动力使其经济向高科技领域多样化的倡议。
