NUE: Societal Dimensions of Nanotechnology: A Course Connecting Communities

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划，题为“NUE：纳米技术的社会层面：一门课程连接社区”，在弗吉尼亚大学（UVA），在博士的指导下。戈尔曼，将开发一个新的课程，对社会层面的纳米技术，将教互动，无论是学生在一个主要的研究型大学和社区（丹维尔，弗吉尼亚州）的成员，正在寻求利用新兴技术来振兴他们的经济。 该课程将为一年级和二年级的学生设计，并将通过UVA的工程学院提供，但它将向任何专业的学生开放。 该课程将特别强调发展与纳米技术相关的“互联网专业知识”，这意味着学生将学习足够的纳米技术方面的知识，以了解其潜在的社会影响。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Societal Dimensions of Nanotechnology: A Course Connecting Communities", at the University of Virginia (UVA), under the direction of Dr. Michael E. Gorman, will develop a new course on societal dimensions of nanotechnology that will be taught interactively, both to students at a major research University and to members of a community (Danville, VA) that are seeking to use emerging technologies to revive their economy. The course will be designed for first and second year students and will be offered through UVA's engineering school, though it will be open to students from any major. The course will place particular emphasis on developing "interactional expertise" relevant to nanotechnology, meaning that students will learn enough about technical aspects at nanoscale to understand its potential social impacts.
