This NUE in Engineering Program, entitled "Development of Nanotechnology Minor Focused on Nano Biomedicine and Sustainable Energy", at the University of Cincinnati (UC), under the direction of Dr. Donglu Shi, has as its primary objective the development of a curriculum for a new Nanotechnology Minor degree in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS). A sequence of new advanced courses in nano science and technology will be developed to significantly enhance undergraduate engineering education for both traditional and high-tech industries, particularly in biomedical and energy areas. The sequence will include three new courses to be developed: 1. Fundamentals of Nanomaterials; 2. Nanoscience in Biomedicine; and, 3. Nano Devices in Energy Technologies. Along with these courses, three existing courses developed as part of two previous NUE programs will be incorporated in the sequence, which are well stablished and currently offered at UC:20-ENFD 3009,Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology, (NUE: Integration of Nanoscale Devices and Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology into Undergraduate Engineering and Science Curricula, NSF award 0939320); 20-ENFD-3008, Introduction to Nanoscale Science and Technology; 20-ENFD-3010L, Experimental Nanoscale Science and Technology, (NUE: Integration of Nanoscale Science and Engineering into undergraduate Curricula, NSF award 0532495). These six courses cover a wide range of critical topics in nano science and technology and compose the proposed curriculum for the Nanotechnology Minor degree.The broader impact of the project includes developing one of the few Nanotechnology Minor engineering programs in the nation; addressing the national needs in nano-technology education; establishing sustainable collaborations between universities and industry in education and research; facilitating sharing of resources and ideas among interested groups to leveragetechnical outcomes in this area; developing a course with advanced energy technology labs as a model for other energy programs in the nation; increasing the number of science and engineering graduates and retaining them in the energy industry; making the experimental modules available to all universities participating in the outreach program; and disseminating our results through publications in peer-reviewed journals, presentations at national and local meetings. The outreach efforts within the Cincinnati school district will increase the UC enrollment in engineering.

这NUE在工程计划，题为“纳米技术未成年人的发展集中在纳米生物医学和可持续能源”，在辛辛那提大学（UC），博士的指导下。将开发一系列新的纳米科学和技术高级课程，以显着提高传统和高科技行业的本科工程教育，特别是在生物医学和能源领域。该序列将包括三个新的课程开发：1。纳米材料基础; 2。生物医学中的纳米科学;和，3。能源技术中的纳米器件。沿着这些课程，三个现有的课程开发的一部分，两个以前的NUE计划将被纳入序列，这是很好的建立，目前在UC提供：20-ENFD 3009，纳米技术的环境方面，（NUE：将纳米级器件和纳米技术的环境方面纳入本科工程和科学课程，NSF奖0939320）; 20-ENFD-3008，介绍纳米科学和技术; 20-ENFD-3010 L，实验纳米科学和技术，（NUE：纳米科学和工程融入本科课程，NSF奖0532495）。这六门课程涵盖了纳米科学和技术的广泛的关键主题，并组成了纳米技术未成年人degree.The项目的更广泛的影响，包括发展在全国为数不多的纳米技术未成年人工程项目之一;解决国家在纳米技术教育的需求;建立大学和产业之间的教育和研究可持续的合作;促进有关团体之间分享资源和想法，以分享这一领域的技术成果;开发一门先进能源技术实验室课程，作为全国其他能源方案的典范;增加科学和工程专业毕业生的人数，并将他们留在能源行业;向参与外联方案的所有大学提供实验模块;并通过在同行评审期刊上发表文章、在国家和地方会议上发言传播我们的成果。辛辛那提学区内的外联工作将增加加州大学工程系的入学人数。
