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

这个纳米技术工程本科教育（NUE）项目名为“NUE：在F. James Boerio博士的指导下，辛辛那提大学（UC）的“将纳米设备和纳米技术环境方面整合到本科工程和科学课程中”将通过在本科工程和科学课程中引入两门名为“纳米设备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已经获得的两门课程的背景下，分别是纳米科学与技术导论和实验纳米科学与技术，为加州大学的学生提供纳米科学与工程方面的优秀教育。这四门课程将每年开设一次，为加州大学随后将发展的跨学科纳米尺度科学和技术的辅修课程奠定基础，并将由工程学院和艺术与科学学院交叉列出，使许多不同学科的学生随时可以获得这些课程。该项目的更广泛影响将包括通过广泛的外展计划调整实验模块以供4-12年级的学生演示；解决俄亥俄州在纳米材料和纳米技术领域对技术先进劳动力的需求；解决教育企业的需求，创造这样的劳动力；并将与新课程相关的实验模块提供给所有参与加州大学合作伙伴“金属生物材料革命工程研究中心”（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.
