NUE: Integration of Nanoscale Devices and Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology into Undergraduate Engineering and Science Curricula

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划，题为“NUE：纳米尺度设备和纳米技术的环境方面的整合到本科工程和科学课程”，在辛辛那提大学（UC）的指导下，F。James Boerio将通过在本科工程和科学课程中引入两门名为纳米级器件和纳米技术环境方面的新课程来加强UC的本科教育。 新课程将建立在学生在现有的两门NUE课程中获得的背景之上，这两门课程分别是纳米科学与技术入门和实验纳米科学与技术，为UC的学生提供纳米科学与工程方面的优秀教育。所有四门课程将每年提供，形成一个未成年人专注于跨学科的纳米科学和技术，UC将随后开发的基础，并将由工程和艺术与科学学院交叉上市，使他们随时提供给学生在许多不同的学科。该项目的更广泛的影响将包括通过广泛的外联方案调整实验模块，以向4-12年级的学生介绍;满足俄亥俄州在纳米材料和纳米技术领域对技术先进的劳动力的需求;满足创建这种劳动力的教育企业的需求;并将与新课程相关的实验模块提供给所有参与UC合作伙伴的革命性金属生物材料工程研究中心（ERC）的大学。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Integration of Nanoscale Devices and Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology into Undergraduate Engineering and Science Curricula", at the University of Cincinnati (UC) under the direction of Dr. F. James Boerio, will enhance undergraduate education at UC by introducing two new courses entitled Nanoscale Devices and Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology into the undergraduate engineering and science curricula. The new courses will build on the background that students have gained in two existing NUE courses entitled Introduction to Nanoscale Science and Technology and Experimental Nanoscale Science and Technology to provide students at UC with outstanding eudcation in nanoscale science and engineering. All four courses will be offered yearly, forming the basis for a minor focused on interdisciplinary nanoscale science and technology that UC will develop subsequently, and will be cross-listed by the Colleges of Engineering and Arts and Sciences, making them readily available to students in many different disciplines. The broader impact of this project will include adapting the experimental modules for presentation to students in grades 4-12 through an extensive outreach program; addressing the need for a technologically advanced workforce in Ohio in the area of nanomaterials and nanotechnology; addressing the need for an educational enterprise that creates such a workforce; and making the experimental modules associated with the new courses available to all universities participating in the Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials in which UC partners.
