The objectives of this NUE project, An Interdisciplinary Practicum Approach to Nanotechnology Curricula Integration, at George Washington University (GWU) under the direction of Dr. Saniya LeBlanc are to develop cohorts of highly trained students using a two-year Nanotechnology Fellows Program comprised of undergraduate students who progress from trainees to experts on new nano-fabrication and characterization tools. 2. Integrate nanotechnology research and concepts into the curriculum across multiple disciplines and years through two new courses, Nanotechnology Devices & Systems: How They Are Made, Measured, and Monetized and Connecting Nanotechnology to Your World. 3. Provide teaching and learning resources and experiences for college and 6-12 grade teachers and students.The program targets students early in their undergraduate careers and brings together students from a wide range of disciplines including science, engineering, business, and policy. It provides these students with intense training on sophisticated equipment and engages them with nanotechnology research and applications. Pulling from multiple departments, it creates a community of students who undergo learning and training together while contributing perspectives from diverse disciplinary and personal backgrounds. The proposed courses would achieve integration of nanotechnology into multiple departments curricula without requiring extensive modification of core curriculum classes or adding significant credit requirements. Projects will increase student interest in nanotechnology and core curricula by providing real-world examples of how they are related. The proposed program uses undergraduate students as nanotechnology ambassadors who disseminate nanotechnology into the broader community through innovative, interactive resources which are shared with college and middle and high school teachers and students.These activities will create and prepare a future workforce to invent and implement next-generation technologies. Student-developed teaching and leaerning resources will be disseminated across GWU, to other universities, and into the hands of teachers and students at all-girls and multicultural schools in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

乔治华盛顿大学 (GWU) 在 Saniya LeBlanc 博士的指导下，NUE 项目“纳米技术课程整合的跨学科实践方法”的目标是，利用为期两年的纳米技术研究员计划培养训练有素的学生群体，该计划由本科生组成，他们从实习生成长为新型纳米制造和表征工具的专家。 2. 通过两门新课程“纳米技术设备和系统：如何制造、测量和货币化”以及“将纳米技术连接到您的世界”，将纳米技术研究和概念融入跨学科和跨年的课程中。 3. 为大学和6-12年级的师生提供教学资源和经验。该计划针对本科阶段早期的学生，汇集了来自科学、工程、商业和政策等多个学科的学生。它为这些学生提供有关精密设备的强化培训，并使他们参与纳米技术的研究和应用。它由多个院系组成，创建了一个学生社区，他们一起接受学习和培训，同时贡献来自不同学科和个人背景的观点。拟议的课程将实现将纳米技术整合到多个部门的课程中，而不需要对核心课程进行大量修改或增加大量学分要求。项目将通过提供真实世界的例子来说明纳米技术和核心课程之间的关系，从而提高学生对纳米技术和核心课程的兴趣。拟议的计划利用本科生作为纳米技术大使，通过与大学和初高中教师和学生共享的创新、互动资源，将纳米技术传播到更广泛的社区。这些活动将创造和准备未来的劳动力，以发明和实施下一代技术。 学生开发的教学和学习资源将在整个乔治华盛顿大学、其他大学以及华盛顿特区都市区的女子学校和多元文化学校的教师和学生手中传播。
