This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: NANO-SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ETHICS, AND POLICY (NanoSTEP)", at Colorado School of Mines (CSM), under the direction of Dr. Corrine Packard, seeks to introduce nanotechnology undergraduate education in engineering emphasizing societal, ethical, economic, and environmental (S3E) issues at every step in the humanities and social sciences course requirements at the CSM. The goal will be pursued through three objectives. 1) For Nature and Human Values (a first-year, four semester credit writing intensive core course). 2) For Human Systems (a second-year, three semester credit, globalization core course). 3) NanoSTEP will introduce nanoS3E issues into select third- and fourth-year elective courses in both the liberal arts and technical disciplines. As a result, all CSM undergraduate majors will be introduced to multiple levels of teaching and learning concerning S3E issues relevant to nanotechnology.NanoSTEP grows out of previous collaborations between the Colorado Fuel Cells Center (CFCC) and the Division of Liberal Arts and International Studies (LAIS) in ways that can serve as a model for similar efforts at other institutions seeking to promote any broad interdisciplinary infusion into an engineering curriculum, especially one linked with the social sciences and humanities.NanoSTEP manifests three broader impacts: 1) it strongly advances discovery and understanding (with regard to generally neglected social justice issues) in conjunction with the development of teaching and learning modules; 2) it will deepen participation of underrepresented groups at CSM by integrating relevant social justice issues into teaching and learning and will also broaden participation of globally relevant groups through an international networking and partnership component; and 3) it will benefit society by offering intelligent pathways for scientists and engineers to better appreciate societal concerns and also, to some extent through dissemination among non-technical scholarly communities, for non-scientist citizens to better appreciate nanotechnology.

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划题为“NUE：纳米科学、技术、道德和政策（NanoSTEP）"，在科罗拉多矿业学院（CSM），在科琳帕卡德博士的指导下，旨在引入纳米技术本科教育的工程，强调社会，道德，经济，在CSM的人文和社会科学课程要求的每一步都有环境（S3 E）问题。 将通过三个目标实现这一目标。1)对于自然和人类价值观（第一年，四个学期的学分写作密集核心课程）。2)人类系统（第二年，三个学期的学分，全球化核心课程）。3)NanoSTEP将把nanoS 3E问题引入文科和技术学科的第三和第四年选修课程。 因此，在本发明中，所有CSM本科专业将被引入到多个层次的教学和学习有关的S3 E问题有关的纳米技术。NanoSTEP成长出以前的合作之间的科罗拉多燃料电池中心（CFCC）和文科和国际研究部（莱什）在寻求促进任何广泛的跨学科注入工程课程的其他机构中，特别是与社会科学和人文科学有关的领域。NanoSTEP体现了三个更广泛的影响：1）它有力地促进了发现和理解（关于普遍被忽视的社会正义问题），同时制定教学单元;（二）它将通过将相关的社会正义问题纳入教学和学习，加深代表性不足的群体在CSM的参与，还将通过建立国际网络和伙伴关系，扩大全球相关团体的参与; 3）它将为科学家和工程师提供明智的途径，使他们更好地了解社会关注的问题，并在一定程度上通过在非技术学术界的传播，使非科学家公民更好地了解纳米技术，从而造福社会。
