计算机工程(32)这项建议开发了一个以模拟为基础的项目导向的课程，在本科工程专业中引导纳米技术的轨道，最初的重点是计算机科学和工程。该方案开发了三门课程，每门课程五个实验模块，以及用于更广泛分发材料的网络课件。该方案研究了纳米级设计的方法和工具集，并将它们整合到一个新的工程课程中。它推进了纳米电子学教育，并为学生提供了进行未来纳米设计的能力。与传统的实验方法相比，自由交换课件和基于模拟的教育使纳米技术的学习成本更低。由于先进的模拟、实验和设计，该提案促进了纳米电子和纳米技术的发现。该计划将以模拟为基础的低成本纳米技术教育取代以实验为基础的高成本纳米技术教育。这一纳米技术教育计划有助于在纳米技术行业建立一支劳动力队伍。以项目为中心的纳米电子学课程为计算机科学和工程专业的教师和学生提供了一个独特的学习机会。

Computer Engineering (32)This proposal develops a simulation-based project oriented curriculum to bootstrap a nanotechnology track among undergraduate engineering programs, with initial emphasis on computer science and engineering. The proposal develops three courses, five experimental modules for each of the courses, and web-based courseware for wider distribution of the materials.The proposal investigates methodologies and tool sets for nanoscale design and integrates them into a novel engineering curriculum. It advances nanoelectronics education and provides students with the ability to perform futuristic nanodesigns. The free exchange of courseware and simulation-based education enables low-cost learning of nanotechnology compared to a traditional experimental approach. The proposal promotes discovery in nanoelectronics and nanotechnology due to advanced simulation, experiments, and design. The proposal replaces experimental-based highly-expensive nanotechnology education with simulation-based low-cost nanotechnology education.This nanotechnology educational program contributes to building a workforce in the nanotechnology industries. The project-centered nanoelectronics courses provide a unique learning opportunity for faculty and students in computer science and engineering.
