New Undergraduate Engineering Minor in Nanotechnology Risk Assessment and Public Policy

在Justin Hanes博士的指导下，约翰霍普金斯大学的纳米技术工程本科教育(NUE)项目名为纳米技术风险评估和公共政策的新本科工程辅修课程，将创建一个名为纳米技术风险评估和公共政策的新本科辅修课程。这个辅修课程将代表着怀廷工程学院、彭博公共卫生学院和霍普金斯大学伯曼生物伦理研究所的多个部门之间的合作。辅修课程代表了对本科生进行纳米技术风险评估基础知识(包括环境/生态系统和人类健康)、法律和伦理问题以及公共政策影响的跨学科培训方法。关于这一AWRAD的提案是根据工程方案征集中的纳米技术本科教育(NUE)(NSF 07-554)而收到的，并由社会、行为和经济科学局(SBE)的社会和经济科学部(SES)和工程局(ENG)的工程教育和中心部(EEC)共同资助。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, New Undergraduate Engineering Minor in Nanotechnology Risk Assessment and Public Policy, at the Johns Hopkins University, under the direction of Dr. Justin Hanes, will create a new undergraduate minor entitled, Nanotechnology Risk Assessment and Public Policy. The minor will represent a collaboration between multiple departments in the Whiting School of Engineering, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. The minor represents an interdisciplinary approach to the training of undergraduate students in the basics of nanotechnology risk assessment (including both the environment/ecosystem and human health), legal and ethical issues, and public policy implications. The proposal for this awrad was received in response to the Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering Program Solicitation (NSF 07-554) and is being co-funded by the Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES) in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG).
