Undergraduate Curriculum Development in Micro-machine Science and Fabrication Technology

9354726这项建议的具体目标是发展和主办微细机械加工科学和制造技术的暑期本科生工作坊，并发展一门名为“微机械科学和技术”的本科生课程，涵盖相同的材料。这两项活动将共同发展。该研讨会面向理工科专业的少数族裔本科生。其目的是为学生进入研究生学位课程做好准备，并为从事快速发展的微机械工程、科学和技术领域的公司找到工作。它的目的尤其是让学生为这个领域做出带头的、终生的贡献。与客座讲师和来自产业界和学术界的访客建立联系将是研讨会和课程的重要组成部分。暑期工作坊的主要好处是增加了进入理工科的少数民族学生人数。该研讨会将进一步成为达特茅斯学院一门新的工程科学本科专业课程的基础，该课程名为“微型机械科学与技术”。好处将是通过以下方式促进微型机械领域的发展和增长：培养有技能的本科生，以便在研究生水平和从事该领域的工业公司做出贡献；在本科生和该领域的领导者之间提供重要的桥梁；向学术界传播这一努力的结果，以领导和协助在其他机构复制类似的本科课程。*y

9354726 Henning The specific objectives of this proposal are to develop and host a summer Undergraduate Workshop in Micro-machining Science and Fabrication Technology, and to develop an undergraduate course entitled Science and Technology of Micro-machines covering the same material. These two activities will be developed jointly. The Workshop is targeted for minority undergraduate majors in science and engineering. Its purpose is to prepare students to enter graduate degree programs, and to gain employment by companies engaged in the rapidly evolving field of micro-machine engineering, science, and technology. It is particularly intended to prepare students to make leading, lifelong contributions to this field. Networking with guest lectures and visitor drawn from industry and academe will be an important component of the Workshop and course. The major benefit of the summer Workshop is to increase the number of minority students entering science and engineering. The Workshop will further serve as the foundation for a new undergraduate major course in Engineering Science at Dartmouth College, entitled "Science and Technology of Micro-Machines." Benefits will be to promote evolution and growth in the field of micro-machines by: preparing skilled undergraduates to make contributions at the graduate level, and with industrial firms engaged in this field; providing an important bridge between undergraduates, and leaders in the field; and disseminating results of this effort to the academic community, to lead in and assist the replication of similar undergraduate programs at other institutions. ***y
