Collaborative Research: Cross-institutional Nano-technology Education and Workforce Training Project

这是代顿大学和辛克莱社区学院在安德鲁·W·萨兰根博士和苏林德·M·贾恩博士的指导下，在工程学领域的一个合作项目，名为“合作研究：跨机构纳米技术教育和劳动力培训项目”。该计划的重点是：1)连接高中、一所社区学院、一所大学和选定的行业。2)开发提供互动纳米技术实验室体验的替代方法。3)创造纳米技术实习机会。4)开展高中纳米技术学习和宣传活动。5)为中学教师举办纳米技术工作坊。这项计划将提高人们对纳米科技概念和纳米科学行业职业的认识。多机构纵向模式，连接高中、社区学院、大学和行业合作伙伴，将提供一个模式，供寻求将中学生和本科生连接到有效和负担得起的纳米技术教育和就业途径的其他机构采用。

This is a collaborative NUE in Engineering program entitled, "Collaborative Research: Cross-institutional Nano-technology Education and Workforce Training Project", at the University of Dayton and Sinclair Community College, under the direction of Dr. Andrew W. Sarangan and Dr. Surinder M. Jain. The program will focus on: 1) Connecting high schools, a community college, a university and selected industries. 2) Developing alternative methods for delivering interactive nanotechnology laboratory experiences. 3) Creating nanotechnology internship opportunities. 4) Developing high school nanotechnology learning and awareness activities. 5) Developing nanotechnology workshops for secondary school teachers.This project will increase awareness of nanotechnology concepts and careers in the nanoscience industry. The multi-institutional longitudinal model, connecting high schools, a community college, a university and industry partners, will offer a model for adoption by other institutions seeking to connect secondary school students and undergraduates to an effective and affordable pathway for nanotechnology education and employment.
