The emerging technologies in nanoscale metrology and manufacturing have the potential for significant contributions to the growth of the nation's economy over the next several decades. In spite of the rapidly growing need for qualified nanotechnology technicians, current undergraduate programs of most engineering schools do not offer nanoscale metrology and manufacturing in their curricula. In order to produce a properly prepared nanotechnology workforce, there is a need for educational opportunities in the advanced manufacturing technology arena. This project will address the absence of nanoscale metrology and manufacturing education by developing a packaged suite of discovery-based laboratory modules. Combined with proposed lectures, the laboratory materials will enable many engineering programs to offer nanoscale metrology and manufacturing in their curricula, thereby increasing opportunities for engineering and science students to be exposed to this emerging field early in the formative years of their career. This project will bring relevant nanoscale engineering physics and chemistry into the educational experience of undergraduate engineering students as well as develop and test a set of collaborative lecture and laboratory modules in nanoscale metrology and manufacturing.

纳米计量和制造领域的新兴技术有可能在未来几十年内对国家经济的增长做出重大贡献。尽管对合格纳米技术人员的需求迅速增长，但大多数工程学院目前的本科课程并未在其课程中提供纳米计量学和制造。为了培养一支做好充分准备的纳米技术劳动力队伍，需要先进制造技术领域的教育机会。该项目将通过开发一套基于发现的实验室模块来解决纳米级计量和制造教育的缺乏。与拟议的讲座相结合，实验室材料将使许多工程项目能够在其课程中提供纳米级计量和制造，从而增加工程和科学学生在其职业生涯早期接触这一新兴领域的机会。该项目将把相关的纳米工程物理和化学带入工程本科生的教育经验中，并开发和测试一套纳米计量和制造方面的协作讲座和实验室模块。
