NUE: The Nanotechnology Certificate Program at Georgia Tech

在Sankar Nair博士的指导下，这个名为NUE：佐治亚理工学院纳米技术证书课程的工程纳米技术本科教育（NUE）项目将在佐治亚理工学院（GT）建立纳米技术本科证书课程。拟议项目的总体目标是创新性地影响本科层次的纳米技术教育。该证书课程将在“自上而下”和“自下而上”的纳米制造方法的背景下，通过动手实验和课堂教学的良好整合计划，连接纳米技术的“支柱”——纳米器件/系统、纳米尺度表征和纳米材料。同时，它将提供大量的暴露在纳米技术的实践问题及其潜在的社会影响，通过一个特邀演讲者计划。因此，该计划的毕业生将在制定和实施基于纳米技术的解决方案方面处于有利地位，成为工业，政府和学术界科学和技术劳动力的一部分。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled NUE: The Nanotechnology Certificate Program at Georgia Tech, under the direction of Dr. Sankar Nair, will establish the undergraduate Nanotechnology Certificate Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GT). The overall goal of the proposed project is to innovatively impact nanotechnology education at the undergraduate level. The Certificate curriculum will bridge the "pillars" of nanotechnology-nanodevices/systems, nanoscale characterization, and nanomaterials-in the context of both the "top down" and bottom up" nanofabrication approaches, via a well-integrated program of hands-on laboratory and classroom instructions. Concurrently, it will provide substantial expposure to issues in nanotechnology practice and its potential societal impacts, through an invited speaker program. Graduates of the program will thus be in an advantageous position to formulate and implement nanotechnology-based solutions as part of the science and technology workforce in industry, government, and academia.
