NUE: Nanomaterials Education for Engineering and Science Majors at the City College of New York

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）计划题为“NUE：纽约城市学院工程和科学专业的纳米材料教育”，在纽约城市学院（CCNY）的Ilona Kretzschmar博士的指导下，旨在通过开发纳米技术模块，纳米技术掘金，和模块化结构的纳米材料课程序列。 这一拟议的课程倡议的智力价值在于增加纳米科学和纳米技术教育在CCNY。 该提案的模块化和跨学科结构是CCNY的第一个，其灵活的结构更适合于纳入各种不同的课程。纳米材料的两个课程序列将为跨学科的“纳米材料和纳米技术浓度”的发展提供基础在CCNY，并可能在纽约城市大学广泛的水平。这一建议的更广泛的影响是，它也作为一个机会，汇集了来自工程学院和科学系的整个校园对纳米技术感兴趣的研究人员，并创建了一个合作氛围。 此外，CCNY服务于一个非常多样化的学生团体，拟议的纳米材料课程的可用性将使学生团体接触纳米技术。 纳米技术教育将使CCNY学生处于科学和工程的前沿，为他们在许多现代研究领域的研究生和工业职业做好准备。 与CCNY scientific合作伙伴的包容和合作将提醒行业注意其高素质和多样化的学生群体。 该奖项的建议是在回应纳米技术本科教育（NUE）计划征求（NSF 06-538），并正在共同资助的董事会， 对于工程： 化学和运输系统部（CTS）和工程教育和中心部（EEC）。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) Program entitled, "NUE: Nanomaterials Education for Engineering and Science Majors at the City College of New York," at City College of New York (CCNY) under the direction of Dr. Ilona Kretzschmar, aims to enhance the nanotechnology and nanomaterials education for undergraduate students at the CCNY through the development of a Nanotech Module, Nanotech Nuggets, and a nanomaterials course sequence with modular structure. The intellectual merit of this proposed curriculum initiative lies in the increase of nanoscience and nanotechnology education at CCNY. The modular and interdisciplinary structure of the proposal is the first of its kind for CCNY, and its flexible structure is more amendable to its incorporation into a variety of diverse curricula. The two course sequence in nanomaterials will provide the basis for the development of an interdisciplinary "Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Concentration" at CCNY and possibly at the City University of New York wide level.The broader impact of this proposal is that it also serves as an opportunity to bring together researchers interested in nanotechnology across the campus from the School of Engineering and the Division of Science and creates a collaborative atmosphere. Further, CCNY serves a very diverse student body and the availability of the proposed nanomaterials course will expose the student body to nanotechnology. An education in nanotechnology will put CCNY students at the frontiers of science and engineering, preparing them for graduate as well as industrial careers in many moder research areas. Inclusion and collaboration with CCNY scientifc partners will alert industry to its highly qualified and diverse pool of students. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) Program Solicitation (NSF 06-538), and is being co-funded by the Directorate for for Engineering: Division of Chemical and Transport Systems (CTS) and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC).
