Nano-Photonics Laboratory

随着纳米技术的发展，培养工程师/科学家必须接受包括前沿跨学科主题的教育，包括高级主题和概念。这个项目正在通过开发一门跨学科的纳米光子学动手实验室课程(带有嵌入的入门课程)来解决这些目标，该课程是在高年级本科水平上进行的。该项目通过开发和共同教授一系列初级课程，与工程学院以研究为基础的高级设计项目相结合，与工程学院的跨学科教员团队一起引入纳米光子学的概念。随着这一项目的增加，那些对一年级和二年级的纳米技术入门感到兴奋的高水平本科生现在有机会在动手实验室体验纳米技术。这个项目创造了一系列的纳米技术教育机会，从一年级到高年级的Capstone经历。

As nanotechnology grows it is imperative for developing engineers/scientists to receive an education that includes cutting-edge interdisciplinary topics, including advanced topics and concepts. This project is addressing these goals by developing an interdisciplinary Nanophotonics hands-on laboratory course (with embedded introductory lectures) at the upper-class undergraduate level. The project introduces the concepts of nanophotonics with an inter-disciplinary team of faculty from the College of Engineering by developing and co-teaching a sequence of junior level courses which tie into the College of Engineering's research-based Senior Design Projects. With the addition of this program, upper-level undergraduates who are excited by the introduction to nanotechnology at the freshman and sophomore levels now have an opportunity to experience nanotechnology in a hands-on laboratory experience. This project creates a continuum of nanotechnology educational opportunities from the freshman year through the Senior Capstone experience.
