An Interdisciplinary Program in Nanotechnology Integrating Undergraduate Coursework and Research

堪萨斯大学(KU)的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)项目名为“纳米技术本科课程与研究相结合的跨学科项目”，由Judy Z.Wu博士指导，将把纳米科学和生物科学之间的最新进展落实到本科课程“纳米技术导论”中，该课程面向科学和工程领域的所有相关学科。根据教授这门课程的经验，昆士兰大学将设立纳米技术辅修学位课程。拟议项目的学术价值在于将纳米科学和生物科学之间的最新进展落实到一门名为“纳米技术导论”的本科课程中，该课程对科学和工程的所有相关学科开放。根据教授这门课程的经验，昆士兰大学将设立纳米技术辅修学位课程。专为本科生而设的新的跨学科纳米科学研究项目将随着一个在纳米技术本科教育方面具有关键专业知识并长期致力于此的跨学科团队的发展而启动。拟议项目的更广泛影响不仅包括对下一代纳米科学的前沿教育，还包括纳米科学和工程方面的新的跨学科研究课题。这一奖项的提议是应纳米技术本科教育(NUE)计划征集(NSF 06-538)而收到的，并由本科教育司教育与人力资源局(EHR)提供资金。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program entitled, "An Interdisciplinary Program in Nanotechnology Integrating Undergraduate Coursework and Research," at the University of Kansas (KU), under the direction of Dr. Judy Z. Wu will implement the latest advances at the interface between nanoscience and bioscience into an undergraduate course, "Introduction to Nanotechnology," that is open to all relevant disciplines in science and engineering. Based on the experience generated by teaching this course, KU will establish a minor degree curriculum in Nanotechnology. The intellectual merit of the proposed project is in the implementation of the latest advances at the interface between nanoscience and bioscience into an undergraduate course entitled "Introduction to Nanotechnology" that is open to all relevant disciplines in science and engineering. Based on the experience generated by teaching this course, KU will establish a minor degree curriculum in Nanotechnology. New interdisciplinary nanoscience research projects crafted specifically for undergraduate students will be initiated along with the development of an interdisciplinary team with critical expertise in and long-term dedication to undergraduate education in nanotechnology.The broader impacts of the proposed project include not only forefront education for the next generation in nanoscience, but also novel interdisciplinary research topics in nanoscience and engineering. The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) Program Solicitation (NSF 06-538), and is being funded by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE).
