NUE: Nanotechnology Education for Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing

在俄克拉荷马州立大学（OSU）马修·j·克洛普斯坦博士的指导下，这项名为“卷对卷制造纳米技术教育”的NUE项目的目标是通过为工程、测量、制造、机电一体化、自动控制和振动等关键本科课程开发教育模块，向本科生传授高精度卷对卷（R2R）制造的核心纳米技术主题。柔性材料的R2R制造与批量加工相比具有显着优势，包括更高的产量，高速自动化以及以更低的成本批量生产成品材料的潜力。项目团队计划在以下六门本科课程中系统地开发纳米技术和高精度R2R制造的课程材料：工程导论、测量、制造过程、机电一体化、自动控制和振动。大量俄勒冈州立大学的学生，每年大约有800名本科生，将可能受到这门课程的影响，其中包括多达400名一年级工程专业的学生。除了对高精度R2R制造的本科课程和学生学习产生重大影响外，拟议的项目还将广泛影响许多其他教育和推广活动。这些活动包括弱势学生的参与，与初高中学生和教师的互动，以及本科生与实习工程师互动的机会。该项目团队将与俄勒冈州立大学的三个项目合作：俄克拉何马州路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（OK-LSAMP）、多元文化工程项目（MEP）和工程、建筑和技术领域的女性（WEAT）项目，积极招募和留住来自代表性不足群体的学生。

The goal of this NUE program, Nanotechnology Education for Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing, at Oklahoma State University (OSU) under the direction of Dr. Matthew J. Klopfstein, is to educate undergraduate students in core nanotechnology topics for high precision Roll-to-Roll (R2R) manufacturing by developing educational modules for key undergraduate courses in engineering, measurements, manufacturing, mechatronics, automatic control, and vibrations. R2R manufacturing of flexible materials offers significant advantages over batch processing including better yields, high speed automation, and the potential to mass produce finished materials at substantially lower costs. The project team plans to systematically develop curriculum material in nanotechnology and high precision R2R manufacturing in the following six undergraduate courses: Introduction to Engineering, Measurements, Manufacturing Processes, Mechatronics, Automatic Control, and Vibrations. A large number of OSU students, approximately 800 undergraduate students per year, will be potentially impacted by this curriculum, including up to 400 first-year engineering students. In addition to significantly impacting the undergraduate curriculum and student learning in high precision R2R manufacturing, the proposed project will broadly impact a number of other education and outreach activities. These activities include involvement of underrepresented students, interaction with middle/high school students and teachers, and opportunities for undergraduate students to interact with practicing engineers. The project team will work with three programs at OSU: Oklahoma Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (OK-LSAMP), the Multicultural Engineering program (MEP) and the Women in Engineering, Architecture and Technology (WEAT) program to actively recruit and retain students from underrepresented groups.
