This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Improvement of Nanoscale Device Education via Theory, Experimental Design, and Characterization", at Purdue University under the direction of Dr. Michael T. Harris, will develop a new path for undergraduate students interested in developing a strong nanotechnology background that starts in their First-Year Engineering courses and can continue throughout their career at Purdue University. The components of this program span from classroom instruction through laboratory experiments and finally, to hands-on summer research programs for interested students. In particular, the educational thrusts will focus on the fabrication of novel devices for clean energy generation and storage applications, advanced bioengineered devices, and the development of sensing platforms for enhanced homeland security. Due to the inherently interdisciplinary nature of nanoscience and nanoengineering education, the proposed projects will allow for unique extensions in the fields of chemistry, materials engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and bioengineering. Specifically, 100% of first year engineering students will be impacted (~2000 undergraduate students/year), ~200 sophomore and junior engineering students per year (~10% of all undergraduate engineering students/year), ~1% of all undergraduate students (20 engineering students/year) will participate in 3-month faculty-led research experiences through this program. Successful education of these talented undergraduate students will lead to a well-trained nanotechnology-based workforce capable of manufacturing devices for the next generation of biomedical and energy-generating devices.

在工程课程中，这项纳米技术本科教育（NUE）题为“ NUE：通过理论，实验设计和表征对纳米级设备教育的改进”，在迈克尔·T·哈里斯（Michael T. 该计划的组成部分从课堂教学到实验室实验，最后到为感兴趣的学生动手的夏季研究计划。特别是，教育推力将集中于为清洁能源生成和存储应用，先进的生物工程设备以及开发传感平台的新型设备的制造，以增强国土安全性。 由于纳米科学和纳米工程教育的固有跨学科性质，拟议的项目将允许在化学，材料工程，化学工程，机械工程，电气工程和生物工程领域进行独特的扩展。 具体而言，每年的一年级工程专业学生中有100％将受到影响（约2000名本科生），约2000名二年级和初级工程专业的学生（约占所有本科工程学生/年的10％），所有本科学生的1％（20名工程学生/年）将通过这项计划参加3个月的教师研究经验。这些才华横溢的本科生的成功教育将导致训练有素的基于纳米技术的劳动力，能够为下一代生物医学和产生能源的设备制造设备。
