NUE: Integrating Nanoscale Science and Engineering into the Undergraduate Engineering Curriculum

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）计划题为“将纳米科学与工程融入本科工程课程”，在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW），在博士的指导下。Crone由工程局（ENG）的土木和机械系统部（CMS）和化学和运输系统部（CTS）以及数学和物理科学局（MPS）的材料研究部（DMR）共同资助。这个跨学科项目将纳米科学和工程教育模块整合到UW工程学院的关键入门和高级本科课程中。 修改的六门课程从大一的入门课程到高级材料和力学课程。 拟议的工作将有助于发展一个多元化的未来劳动力与纳米科学和工程概念的基本理解。 大约400名工程专业学生将在实施的第一年受到影响。 除了将在未来几十年内在UW学习这些课程的UW学生之外，开发的纳米科学和工程教育工具将通过各种机制广泛传播，包括基于网络的纳米技术实验室手册。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "Integrating Nanoscale Science and Engineering into the Undergraduate Engineering Curriculum," at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), under the direction of Dr. Wendy C. Crone, is jointly funded by the Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems (CMS) and the Division of Chemical and Transport Systems (CTS) in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and the Division of Materials Research (DMR) in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). This interdisciplinary project will integrate nanoscale science and engineering educational modules into key introductory and advanced undergraduate courses in the College of Engineering at UW. The six courses targeted for modification range from freshman introductory courses to advanced level materials and mechanics courses. The proposed work will help to develop a diverse future workforce with a fundamental understanding of nanoscale science and engineering concepts. Approximately 400 engineering students will be impacted in the first year of implementation. Beyond the UW students who will take these courses over the next few decades at UW, the educational tools in nanoscale science and engineering developed will be disseminated broadly through a variety of mechanisms including a web-based Nanotechnology Lab Manual.
