NUE: Building bridges between the engineering classroom and the research laboratory: Nanoscience at Union College

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划，题为“NUE：工程教室和研究实验室之间的桥梁：联合学院的纳米科学”，在联合学院的指导下，帕尔米拉Catravas博士，将支持应用纳米科学的几个领域的课程开发，重点是纳米尺度表征和纳米结构的可视化。为了在工程教室和研究实验室之间建立桥梁， 拟议的活动包括开发一个先进的本科课程纳米材料表征和可视化与顶点项目材料表征，通过高级论文教授原子力显微镜的设计，并制定推广计划，以代表性不足的群体和K-12学生，其中将包括研讨会和艺术科学展示具有纳米表征和制造使用材料来自拟议的课程开发。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Building bridges between the engineering classroom and the research laboratory: Nanoscience at Union College", at Union College under the direction of Dr. Palmyra Catravas, will support course development in several areas of applied nanoscience with key emphases in nanoscale characterization and visualization of nanostructure/property phenomena in order to build bridges between the engineering classroom and the research laboratory. Proposed activities include developing an advanced undergraduate course on nanomaterials characterization and visualization with a capstone project on materials characterization, teaching the design of an AFM through senior thesis, and developing outreach programs to underrepresented groups and K-12 students which will include workshops and art-science shows featuring nanoscale characterization and fabrication using material derived from the proposed course development.
