This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This is a new 18-month Science Master's degree in NanoScience and MicroSystems. The program curriculum is providing students with the knowledge and skill to turn breakthroughs in nanoscience into innovative commercial technology. It uses project-based learning as a method for integrating education, research, and training in nanotechnology. It targets the needs of employers by preparing graduates for careers in nanotechnology with local and national start-up companies and established firms. Through a partnership with the Management of Technology program located within University of New Mexico's Anderson School of Management, students are learning skills in finance, marketing, communication, and project management needed to bring new technology to the marketplace. Entrepreneurship is developed through cohort-based participation in the University of New Mexico's Business Plan Competition. Broader Impact: Nanoscience is an important base of support for key industries in the 21st century. New Mexico is recognized as a center of nanotechnology research and entrepreneurship. The University of New Mexico is Hispanic-Serving and classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a research university with very high research activity. Competitively awarded stipends will be available to the first two student cohorts, helping to ensure broad access to this degree. Internships and research experiences will be tied to the needs of local and national industry and government labs. Upon completion of this degree program, students will be prepared for careers and leadership positions in nanotechnology.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这是一个新的18个月的纳米科学和微系统科学硕士学位。该计划课程为学生提供的知识和技能，把纳米科学的突破转化为创新的商业技术。它使用基于项目的学习作为整合纳米技术的教育，研究和培训的方法。 它的目标是通过准备毕业生在纳米技术的职业生涯与当地和国家的初创公司和老牌公司的雇主的需求。 通过与新墨西哥州大学安德森管理学院技术管理项目的合作，学生们正在学习将新技术推向市场所需的财务、营销、沟通和项目管理技能。 企业家精神是通过在新墨西哥州的商业计划竞争大学的集群为基础的参与发展。更广泛的影响：纳米科学是支持世纪关键产业的重要基础。 新墨西哥州是公认的纳米技术研究和创业中心。 新墨西哥州的大学是西班牙裔服务和分类由卡内基基金会作为一个研究型大学具有非常高的研究活动。 竞争性授予的津贴将提供给前两个学生群体，有助于确保广泛获得这一学位。实习和研究经验将与当地和国家工业和政府实验室的需求挂钩。完成本学位课程后，学生将为纳米技术的职业和领导职位做好准备。
