The goal of this NUE in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Nano-Science & Engineering: A STE Minor with General Education", at Portland State University, under the direction of Dr. James E. Morris, is to develop an interdisciplinary minor in nano-scale science and engineering that brings together students from both Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) major and non-STE majors. The minor will consist of three new nanotechnology courses at the junior level: 1)PH 382/382U Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (4 credits), 2) BI 372/372U Nanotechnology, Society, and Sustainability (4 credits) and 3) ECE 317/317U Nanotechnology Simulation and Design (4 credits) which will be taught by active learning principles and will be included in the junior University Studies Program (UNST) clusters: 1) Science in the Liberal Arts, 2) Freedom, Privacy, and Technology, 3) Environmental Sustainability, and 4) Knowledge, Rationality, and Understanding. The broader impacts of the proposal include the demonstration that these advanced concepts can be suitably conveyed to a general student audience of both technical and non-technical students, and from the broadened perspectives of all participants. Industry will also benefit from the capstone projects, (which regularly spawn commercial product innovation and social impact.) The impact will be multiplied by summer teacher training workshops. The project team estimates that over 150 students will take at least one cluster course in the first year, multiplying thereafter.

在波特兰州立大学的James E.莫里斯，是开发一个跨学科的未成年人在纳米尺度的科学和工程，汇集了来自科学，技术和工程（STE）专业和非STE专业的学生。未成年人将包括三个新的纳米技术课程在初级水平：1）PH 382/382 U纳米科学与纳米技术简介（4学分），2）BI 372/372 U纳米技术，社会，和可持续性（4学分）和3）ECE 317/317 U纳米技术模拟和设计（4学分）这将是由积极的学习原则，并将被列入初级大学研究计划（UNST）集群讲授：1）文科中的科学，2）自由，隐私和技术，3）环境可持续性，4）知识，理性和理解。该提案的更广泛的影响包括证明这些先进的概念可以适当地传达给技术和非技术学生的一般学生观众，并从所有参与者的广泛视角。行业也将受益于顶点项目（这些项目经常产生商业产品创新和社会影响）。暑期教师培训讲习班的影响将成倍增加。项目小组估计，第一年将有150多名学生至少选修一门分组课程，此后人数将成倍增加。
