Integrating Nanotechnology and its Environmental and Health Implications to Undergraduate Engineering Education

（59）本项目为纳米技术的高级本科课程开发学习材料。根据生命周期评估原则，这些材料被组织成模块。纳米材料的原材料提取、合成、整合、使用和处置所涉及的好处和潜在影响正在通过其命运和运输到周围环境的建模来涵盖。这使学生能够理解纳米材料的每个生命周期阶段与周围人类和环境系统之间的复杂关系。学生的学习成果包括通过接触纳米技术和纳米科学的基础知识来发展分析和综合技能，并以案例研究的形式解决纳米技术相关的问题。形成性和总结性评估方法都被用来评估学习成果，并记录课程和相关教学模式的成功。

Engineering Other (59)This project is developing learning materials for upper level undergraduate courses in nanotechnology. The materials are being organized into modules developed along life cycle assessment principles. The benefits and potential impacts involved in the raw material extraction, synthesis, integration, use, and disposal of nano-materials are being covered with modeling of their fate and transport into the surrounding environment. This is enabling students to understand the complex relationships between each life cycle stage of nano-materials and the surrounding human and environmental systems.Student learning outcomes include developing analytical and synthesis skills through exposure to fundamentals of nanotechnology and nanoscience and solving nanotechnology related problems in the form of case studies. Both formative and summative assessment methods are being used to evaluate the learning outcomes and are documenting the success of the courses and associated pedagogical model.
