NUE: Nanotechnology Minor at Washington University in St. Louis

位于圣路易斯的华盛顿大学工程专业的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)项目名为“NUE：圣路易斯华盛顿大学的纳米技术辅修课程”，由秦冬博士指导，旨在吸引和吸引本科生从事纳米科学、工程和技术的研究。将为整个校园的所有本科生开设纳米技术辅修课程，并将提供总共20个暑期研究实习机会，以开发与K-12教育外展的纳米技术相关的面向过程的指导性探究学习(POGIL)模块。吴的这一新倡议将为本科生提供一个极好的机会，为本科生建立一个跨学科的纳米技术教育和研究计划，重点放在以下几个方面：1)向学生提供多方面的、综合的方法来学习纳米技术的基础知识和新发展，以及它对环境和社会的影响；2)培训，为学生提供纳米研究设施(NRF)--NSF支持的国家纳米技术基础网络(NNIN)的一个网站--的研究经验，以及参与的教师的实验室，探索研究工具和发现纳米技术的前沿；以及3)将学生与社区和社会联系起来，向高中生和教师传授和促进对纳米技术的基本概念理解。

The goal of this Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program at Washington University (WU) in St. Louis entitled "NUE: Nanotechnology Minor at Washington University University in St. Louis", under the direction of Dr. Dong Qin, is to attract and engage undergraduate students to the study of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. A Minor in Nanotechnology for all undergraduate students across the campus will be created and a total of twenty summer research internships will be provided to develop the Process Orientated Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) modules related to Nanotechnology for K-12 education outreach. This new initiative at WU will provide an excellent opportunity to build an interdisciplinary education and research program in nanotechnology for undergraduate students with a focus on the following components: 1) learning that exposes students to a multifaceted, integrated approach to learning about the fundamentals and new developments in nanotechnology, as well as its environmental and societal impacts; 2) training that offers students research experience in the Nano Research Facility (NRF)-a site of the NSF supported National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) and in the laboratories of participating faculty for exploration of research tools and discovery in the frontiers of nanotechnology; and 3) engaging that connects the students with community and society to impart and promote a basic conceptual understanding of nanotechnology in high school students and teachers.
