Interdisciplinary Nanoelectronics Laboratory for the Engineering/Science Undergraduate Curriculum

工程-电气(55)这个CCLI第一阶段的探索性项目包括一个用于工程/科学本科课程的跨学科纳米电子学实验室。该项目团队正在开发一套十个实验室实验模块，目标受众是二年级理工科本科生。这些实验包括扫描探针显微镜(SPM)的使用、电子衍射的研究、量子点对光的吸收以及量子点的光致发光。动手实验室课程是对最近由纳米技术本科教育资助的一门以讲授为基础的课程的补充。理工科本科生的预期成果包括：对纳米技术涉及的基本概念的理解；使用先进工具表征、分析和综合实验结果的实践经验；以及对纳米技术领域就业机会的更多认识。项目评价采用形成性评价和终结性评价两种方法。评估工作由科学教育领域的一名教员协调。该项目还包括来自两所社区学院的教师协助课程的开发、实施和传播，以及团队积极参与纳米技术互动展览的开发，以及K-12科学教师进行与展览有关的实验。

Engineering - Electrical (55)This CCLI Phase I exploratory project involves an interdisciplinary Nanoelectronics Laboratory for the Engineering/Science Undergraduate Curriculum. The project team is developing a set of ten laboratory experiment modules for a target audience of second-year science and engineering undergraduate students. The experiments include the use of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), the study of electron diffraction, absorption of light by quantum dots and photoluminescence from quantum dots. The hands-on laboratory course is complementing a recently developed lecture-based course funded by Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education. Anticipated outcomes for science and engineering undergraduate students include: an understanding of fundamental concepts involved in nanotechnology; hands-on experience using advanced tools to characterize, analyze, and synthesize experimental results; and increased awareness of career opportunities in the area of nanotechnology. Both formative and summative evaluation methods are used in project assessment. Evaluation efforts are coordinated by a faculty member in the area of Science Education. The project also includes faculty from two Community colleges assisting in the development, implementation, and dissemination of the course as well as active participation by the team in the development of an interactive exhibit on nanotechnology and K-12 science teachers to perform experiments related to the exhibit.
