Development of Nanotechnology Minor Focused on Nano Biomedicine and Sustainable Energy

在美国辛辛那提大学（UC），由石东禄博士指导的这个名为“纳米技术副修课程的发展，重点是纳米生物医学和可持续能源”的工程项目，其主要目标是为工程与应用科学学院（CEAS）的纳米技术副修学位课程开发。将开发一系列新的纳米科学和技术高级课程，以显著提高传统和高科技产业，特别是生物医学和能源领域的本科工程教育。该序列将包括三个有待开发的新课程：纳米材料基础；2. 纳米科学在生物医学中的应用；, 3。能源技术中的纳米器件。随着这些课程的发展，三个现有的课程，作为前两个NUE项目的一部分，将被纳入到序列中，这些课程已经建立并在UC提供：20-ENFD 3009，纳米技术的环境方面，（NUE：纳米级器件和纳米技术的环境方面整合到本科工程和科学课程中，NSF奖0939320）；20-ENFD-3008，纳米科学与技术概论；20-ENFD-3010L，实验纳米科学与技术，（NUE：纳米科学与工程与本科课程整合，国家自然科学基金项目0532495）。这六门课程涵盖了纳米科学和技术的广泛关键主题，并构成了纳米技术辅修学位的建议课程。该项目的广泛影响包括开发全国为数不多的纳米技术辅修工程项目之一；满足国家在纳米技术教育方面的需求；建立大学与产业界在教育和研究方面的可持续合作；促进有兴趣的团体之间分享资源和想法，以利用该领域的技术成果；利用先进的能源技术实验室开设一门课程，作为全国其他能源项目的典范；增加理工科毕业生的数量，让他们留在能源行业；向所有参与外展计划的大学提供实验模块；并通过在同行评议的期刊上发表文章，在国家和地方会议上发表演讲，传播我们的研究成果。辛辛那提学区内的推广工作将增加加州大学工程专业的入学率。

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.
