The objective of this NUE project, Engineering Innovation in Biomedical Nanotechnology, at the University of Arizona (UA), under the direction of Dr. Eniko T. Enikov, is to develop to introduce nanoscale science and engineering through an innovative use of a technical elective senior design course in mechatronics, followed by an ABET-mandated senior-level engineeirng capstone design project.The proposed activities include: 1) Delivery of mechatronics design course focused on use of giant magneto-resistance (GMR) sensors and the fabrication of an electro-spinning manufacturing cell. 2) Mentoring of two senior capstone design teams/year comprised of engineering and business students who will use the GMR sensors and electro-spinning apparatus in clinical applications (In collaboration with the UA College of Medicine and the College of Management). 3) Demonstration of a working prototype of a smart catheter with embedded flow sensor enabled by the application of super-paramagnetic nano-particles. The proposed project seeks to develop a model for nanotechnology education that can be adopted by other institutions. To broaden the impact of the project, the PIs have partnered with the UA McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Eller College of Management whereby student teams of engineering and business students will develop product ideas based on nanotechnology and subsequently create product prototypes as part of the senior capstone design course in engineering.The project builds on the prior work of the PI, Dr. Enikov, in developing undergraduate laboratory experiments in nanotechnology, which showed that an evolutionary design approach can be used successfully to complete a relatively complicated nanotechnology project within the framework of the standard junior- and senior-year courses.

在亚利桑那大学（UA）的Eniko T. Enikov博士的指导下，这项名为生物医学纳米技术工程创新的NUE项目的目标是通过创新地使用机电一体化技术选修高级设计课程来发展纳米科学和工程，随后是abet授权的高级工程顶点设计项目。建议的活动包括：1)提供机电一体化设计课程，重点是巨磁电阻（GMR）传感器的使用和电纺丝制造单元的制造。2)每年指导两个由工程和商业学生组成的高级顶点设计团队，他们将在临床应用中使用GMR传感器和电纺丝设备（与UA医学院和管理学院合作）。3)应用超顺磁性纳米颗粒实现嵌入式流量传感器智能导尿管的工作样机演示。该计划旨在发展一套可供其他院校采用的纳米科技教育模式。为了扩大项目的影响，pi与埃勒管理学院的UA McGuire创业与创新中心合作，由工程和商业学生组成的学生团队将基于纳米技术开发产品创意，随后创建产品原型，作为工程高级顶点设计课程的一部分。该项目建立在项目负责人Enikov博士之前的工作基础上，在开发纳米技术的本科实验室实验中，该实验表明，进化设计方法可以在标准的大三和大四课程框架内成功地完成相对复杂的纳米技术项目。
