NUE-WSU Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Laboratory Experience

这纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划，题为“NUE-WSU纳米技术和纳米科学实验室的经验”，在赖特州立大学（WSU），在博士的指导下。主要目标是开发一个新的，高度跨学科的实验室课程（纳米技术和纳米科学实验室经验）的基础上，研究人员在尖端纳米技术研究和教育领域的专业知识。 这将是校园内第一个纳米技术/纳米科学实验室，将补充和加强目前，完善的介绍纳米科学和纳米技术和材料的纳米技术讲座课程在WSU。 该独立的实验室课程将向上述部门的本科生和研究生开放。在已经建立的讲座课程中学到的理论概念将通过实验室的实践经验得到加强和补充。在课程完成后，学生将提高或开发新的技能，这将是有用的，在未来的纳米技术的努力在代顿地区（例如，空军研究实验室和当地产业专门从事纳米技术），无论他们的专业。 这门新的实验室课程将通过本科阶段的高级早期科学教育，支持WSU下一代纳米技术科学家和工程师的发展。从本提案中获得的资源和成果将提交给当地和外部科学界和非科学界（例如，K12学生的开放日活动，出版物和会议演示文稿，以及WSU网站）。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE-WSU Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Laboratory Experience", at Wright State University (WSU), under the direction of Dr. Hong Huang, represents a collaborative effort among faculty members with appointments in the Departments of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, and Physics at WSU. The primary goal is to develop a new, highly interdisciplinary laboratory course (Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Laboratory Experience) based on the investigators' expertise in cutting-edge nanotechnology research and educational areas. This will be the first nanotechnology/nanoscience laboratory on campus that will complement and strengthen the current, well-established Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and Materials for Nanotechnology lecture courses at WSU. This independent laboratory course will be open to undergraduate and graduate students across the aforementioned departments.Theoretical concepts learned during the already established lecture courses will be reinforced and supplemented by hands-on experience in the laboratory. Upon course completion, students will improve or develop new skills that will be useful in future nanotechnology endeavors in the Dayton area (e.g. the Air Force Research laboratory and local industries specializing in nanotechnology), regardless of their majors. This new laboraory course will support the development of the next generation of nanotechnology scientists and engineers at WSU through advanced, early scientific education at the undergraduate level. The resources and results derived from this proposal will be presented to and shared with both the local and external scientific and non-scientific communities (e.g., open house events for K12 students, publications and conference presentatons, and the WSU website).
