NUE: Incorporation of Nanoscience into the Chemistry Curriculum at the Introductory Level

这在本科教育纳米技术（NUE）奖迪金森学院支持教授R。大卫克劳奇和辛迪萨梅将纳米科学和纳米技术的主题纳入现有的本科化学课程。该项目包括三个部分：开发一个新的实验室课程，在纳米科学的非科学专业;纳米科学的元素整合到前三个化学课程，科学专业采取;和实施研讨会的纳米科学的中学科学教师在宾夕法尼亚州中部。 该奖项的目标包括开发新的活动和适应以前报告的实验，为科学和非科学专业的学生提供纳米科学的实践机会，说明化学在纳米科学等新兴领域的作用，并支持当地学区的科学教育。 该奖项的建议是响应纳米科学和工程教育公告，NSF 03-044，类别NUE，并由数学和物理科学理事会和地球科学理事会的材料研究和化学部门共同资助。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to Dickinson College supports Professors R. David Crouch and Cindy Samet to incorporate nanoscience and nanotechnology topics into the existing undergraduate Chemistry curriculum. The project involves three parts: development of a new laboratory course in nanoscience for non-science majors; integration of elements of nanoscience into the first three chemistry courses that science majors take; and implementation of a workshop on nanoscience for secondary science teachers in central Pennsylvania. Objectives of the award include the development of new activities and the adaptation of previously reported experiments to provide science and non-science majors with hands-on exposure to nanoscience, to illustrate the role of chemistry in the emerging fields such as nanoscience, and to support science education in the local school districts. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE and was jointly funded by Divisions of Materials Research and Chemistry in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Directorate for Geociences.
