NUE: NanoTechnology Education and Experiences in Maine (Nano-TEEM)

缅因州大学在罗斯玛丽·史密斯博士的指导下，开设了一门新的、三学分的本科课程，向缅因州大学一年级的工程学学生介绍纳米科学和工程的跨学科概念、应用和影响。该项目的更广泛的影响包括：通过本科生水平的研究和教育的有意整合而实现的更好的招生、留住和未来劳动力准备，与缅因州的(在职和在职前)初中和高中教师和学生的互动，促进对纳米科学和工程感兴趣的UMaine教职员工之间的新的研究和教育合作，以及共享最先进的教学工具，如动画和动手，实验室经验模块。该奖项的建议是响应工程项目征集中的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)而收到的，它由教育和人力资源局(EHR)、本科教育司(DUE)和电气、通信和网络系统司(ECCS)工程局共同资助。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled NUE: NanoTechnology Education and Experiences in Maine (Nano-TEEM), at the University of Maine, under the direction of Dr. Rosemary Smith, will result in a new, three-credit, undergraduate course, that introduces first-year engineering students at the University of Maine to the interdisciplinary concepts, applications, and implications of nanoscale science and engineering. The broader impacts of this project include improved student recruitment, retention, and future workforce preparation achieved through the intentional integration of research and education at the undergraduate level, interactions with Maine's (in-service and pre-service) middle and high school teachers and students, the facilitation of new reearch and education collaborations among UMaine faculty with interests in nanoscale science and engineering, and the sharing of state-of-the-art instructional tools such as animations and hands-on, laboratory experience modules.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering Program Solicitation (NSF 07-554), and is being co-funded by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and the Directorate for Engineering, Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber System (ECCS).
