项目摘要

The objective of this NUE project, The Fresman Experience and Nanotechnology Solutions to Engineering Grand Challenges, at Auburn University (AU), under the direction of Dr. Virginia Davis, is to develop six education modules that utilize Engineering Grand Challenges as a framework for teaching nanotechnology to freshmen engineering students. The goals of these modules will be to 1) increase nanotechnology awareness and understanding as part of achieving ABET student outcomes 2) to familiarize students with the current grand challenges in engineering and potential nanotechnology enabled solutions, and 3) to increase student understanding of the importance of grand challenges and nanotechnology to the engineering profession.A well trained diverse pool of professional engineers is critical for the continued advancement of society. Nanotechnology will be a critical factor in this advancement and engineers will be increasingly expected to be knowledgeable in this field. Within the Auburn University's College of Engineering (AU), the modules will be disseminated through the ENGR 1110 courses offered by each department, a minority summer bridge program (AEP), and six living learning communities (including two focused on underrepresented groups). Beyond AU dissemination will occur through NanoHub, the National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Digital Library (NSDL), YouTube, and presentations and peer reviewed publications. It is expected that these modules will not only result in knowledge gains, but increase student engagement and retention. This will enhance the STEM diversity. AU is ranked 7th in terms of the number of engineering degrees awarded to African American students and has a growing number of Hispanic students. In addition, module components may be used in the PIs ongoing outreach and diversity activities.

这个NUE项目的目标，在奥本大学（Au）的Fresman经验和纳米技术解决方案工程大挑战，在弗吉尼亚州戴维斯博士的指导下，是开发六个教育模块，利用工程大挑战作为一个框架，教授纳米技术新生工程专业的学生。这些模块的目标将是1）提高纳米技术的认识和理解，作为实现ABET学生成果的一部分2）使学生熟悉工程和潜在的纳米技术启用解决方案当前的重大挑战，和3）提高学生对重大挑战和纳米技术对工程专业的重要性的理解。社会的不断进步。纳米技术将是这一进步的关键因素，工程师将越来越多地被期望在这一领域的知识。在奥本大学工程学院（Au）内，这些模块将通过每个部门提供的ENGR 1110课程，少数民族夏桥计划（AEP）和六个生活学习社区（包括两个专注于代表性不足的群体）进行传播。除了Au传播将通过NanoHub，国家科学，技术，工程和数学教育数字图书馆（NSDL），YouTube，以及演示文稿和同行评审的出版物进行。预计这些模块将不仅导致知识的增益，但增加学生的参与和保留。这将增强STEM的多样性。Au在授予非裔美国学生的工程学位数量方面排名第7，并且西班牙裔学生的数量越来越多。此外，模块组件可用于PI正在进行的外联和多样性活动。
