Nano-Photonics Laboratory

随着纳米技术的发展，开发工程师/科学家必须接受包括前沿跨学科主题，包括高级主题和概念的教育。本项目通过开发一门跨学科的纳米光子学实践实验课程（内含导论讲座）来实现这些目标。该项目引入了纳米光子学的概念，由工程学院的跨学科教师团队开发和共同教授一系列初级课程，这些课程与工程学院的研究型高级设计项目相结合。随着这个项目的加入，那些在大一和大二阶段对纳米技术的介绍感到兴奋的高年级本科生现在有机会在动手实验室体验纳米技术。这个项目创造了一个连续的纳米技术教育机会，从大一到大四的顶点经历。

As nanotechnology grows it is imperative for developing engineers/scientists to receive an education that includes cutting-edge interdisciplinary topics, including advanced topics and concepts. This project is addressing these goals by developing an interdisciplinary Nanophotonics hands-on laboratory course (with embedded introductory lectures) at the upper-class undergraduate level. The project introduces the concepts of nanophotonics with an inter-disciplinary team of faculty from the College of Engineering by developing and co-teaching a sequence of junior level courses which tie into the College of Engineering's research-based Senior Design Projects. With the addition of this program, upper-level undergraduates who are excited by the introduction to nanotechnology at the freshman and sophomore levels now have an opportunity to experience nanotechnology in a hands-on laboratory experience. This project creates a continuum of nanotechnology educational opportunities from the freshman year through the Senior Capstone experience.
