NUE: Nanotechnology: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Undergraduate Education in Chemistry and Materials Science

这项纳米技术本科教育（NUE）奖由材料研究部资助，支持纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校化学与材料科学的Wayne Jones博士和M. Stanley Whittingham博士领导化学、生物学、物理学和材料科学与工程领域的跨学科研究，并创建一系列描述纳米技术相关概念和技术的在线模块。这些课程材料被引入到一些现有的本科课程中，以便将纳米技术概念整合到核心学科中。先进的仪器可以为校园和全国各地的本科生提供远程互联网访问纳米长度尺度的表征。该项目为有兴趣深入探索纳米技术的学生提供了一个顶点体验。这门两学分的大学课程让学生在大四的时候更详细地探索纳米技术背后的科学。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award, funded by the Division of Materials Research, supports Dr. Wayne Jones and Dr. M. Stanley Whittingham in Chemistry and Materials Science at the State University of New York at Binghamton to lead an interdisciplinary effort in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Materials Science and Engineering and create a series of on-line modules describing concepts and techniques related to nanotechnology. These course materials are introduced in a number of existing undergraduate courses in order to integrate nanotechnology concepts into the core discipline.Advanced instrumentation is available to provide remote Internet access to characterization on the nanometer length scale for undergraduate students both on campus and across the country using Internet 2. The project includes a capstone experience for students interested in exploring nanotechnology in more depth. This two-credit University-wide course brings together students in their senior year to explore in more detail the science underlying nanotechnology.
