NUE: Introduction to Nanoelectronics

本科教育（NUE）的纳米技术奖，布法罗（UB）的纽约州立大学支持博士弗拉基米尔Mitin，电气工程系，开发一个创新的课程，题为“NUE：介绍纳米电子学。“该课程将与C.R.博士合作开发。UB的Wie和M. Stroscio来自伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC），它将针对处于早期教育阶段的本科生。主要目标和目的的成功实施将导致二年级本科生获得纳米电子学作为一个重要的跨学科学科的知识和理解。通过示例，练习和教育Java小程序，该课程将涵盖量子力学，包括材料和纳米结构的电学和光学性质的量子力学起源，纳米结构的化学导向组装，生物分子，纳米光刻的传统和非传统方法，电子和光学性质之间的相互作用，以及有机异质结构，纳米管，和量子计算。将为高中生编写一个介绍纳米传感器及其在探索宇宙中的作用的讲座，并将其放在国际学院和乌兰巴托大学的网站上，并将在当地高中讲授。该奖项的提案是为了响应纳米科学与工程教育（NSEE）公告，NSF 03-044，NUE类别，并由工程教育和中心（EEC）在工程局（ENG）和材料研究（DMR）在数学和物理科学局（MPS）的部门共同资助。

This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award to State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) supports Dr. Vladimir Mitin, Electrical Engineering Department, to develop an innovative course entitled, "NUE: Introduction to Nanoelectronics." The course will be developed in collaboration with Dr. C.R. Wie from UB and Dr. M. Stroscio from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and it will be targeted at undergraduate students on their early stage of education. The successful implementation of major goals and objectives will result in second-year undergraduate students gaining knowledge and understanding of nanoelectronics as an important interdisciplinary subject. Through the examples, exercises, and educational Java applets the course will cover quantum mechanics including the quantum-mechanical origin of the electrical and optical properties of materials and nanostructures, chemically-directed assembly of nanostructures, biomolecules, traditional and nontraditional methods of nanolithography, interactions between electronic and optical properties, as well as the forefront topics such as organic heterostructures, nanotubes, and quantum computing. For the high-school students, an introductory lecture on nanosensors and their role in the exploration of the Universe will be developed and placed on the Web sites of UIC and UB and will be delivered in local high schools. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education (NSEE) announcement, NSF 03-044, category NUE and was jointly funded by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and the Division of Materials Research (DMR) in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS).
