NUE: The Drexel Nano Engineering Track

德雷克塞尔大学的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)项目名为“Drexel Nano Engineering Track(DNet)”，由Christopher Li博士指导，由工程局工程教育和中心部以及数学和物理科学局材料研究部联合资助。DNet计划的主要目标是让德雷克塞尔工程学院和生物医学工程、科学和卫生系统学院的一年级和二年级学生接触纳米科学、工程和技术(NSET)的基本概念。DNet计划与现有的纳米技术研究所和德雷克塞尔/宾夕法尼亚大学IGERT计划一起，将提供从大学到德雷克塞尔大学研究生院的一连串NSET教育。这些活动将包括更新和修订几门大一/大二课程和工程实验室入门课程，将NSET纳入本科早期课程；组织面向本科生、高中生和教师的关于NSET的科学和社会影响的Nano-FronTier系列讲座，用于信息传播和本科生招生；以及推出dNet网络资源，用于信息传播、绩效评估和外联活动。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "The Drexel Nano Engineering Track (DNET)," at Drexel University, under the direction of Dr. Christopher Li, is jointly funded by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers, Directorate for Engineering and the Division of Materials Research, Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The primary objective of the DNET program is to expose freshmen and sophomores in Drexel's College of Engineering and School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health System to basic concepts in Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology (NSET). The DNET program, together with the existing Nanotechnology Institute, and the Drexel/UPenn IGERT program, will offer a stream of NSET education from college through graduate school at Drexel University. The activities will include updating and revising several freshmen/sophomore courses and introductory engineering laboratories to infuse NSET into early undergraduate curriculum; organizing a Nano-frontier Lecture series on scientific and societal impacts of NSET geared towards undergraduate, senior high school students and teachers for information dissemination and undergraduate recruitment; and launching a DNET web resource for information dissemination, performance assessment and outreach activities.
