NUE: Integrating Nanoscale Science Education and Student Research at Jackson State University

这一建议是响应纳米科学和工程教育倡议，NSF 05-543，类别NUE。 通过这个奖项，由化学部和工程教育中心司，教授Tigran V. Shabazyan和他的合作者在杰克逊州立大学将开发额外的模块，现有的讲座和实验室课程在纳米科学/纳米技术在杰克逊州立大学。 其中一个新的讲座模块将集中在纳米技术的伦理问题（法律的，环境和安全）。 此外，他们将促进跨学科的纳米科学研究的机会，为一些本科生。一个更广泛的影响，拟议的工作来自努力，这NUE团队将继续努力接触到当地的K-12社区-通过学生辅导，纳米技术开放日，设备和人员支持K-12教师在学年。

This proposal was received in response to Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education initiative, NSF 05-543, category NUE. Through this award, funded by the Chemistry Division and the Division of Engineering Education & Centers, Prof. Tigran V. Shabazyan and his collaborators at Jackson State University will develop additional modules for existing lecture and laboratory courses in nanoscience/nanotechnology at Jackson State University. One of the new lecture modules will focus on ethical issues (legal, environmental and safety) with nanotechnology. In addition, they will foster interdisciplinary nanoscience research opportunities for a number of undergraduate students.One broader impact of the proposed work comes from the efforts that this NUE team will continue to make to reach out to the local K-12 community -- through student mentoring, Nanotechnology open houses, and equipment and personnel support to K-12 teachers during the academic year.
