NUE: An Integrated Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education Program at the University of New Mexico

新墨西哥大学纳米技术本科教育（NUE）工程项目的目标是“NUE：在Zayd C. Leseman博士的指导下，“新墨西哥大学综合多学科纳米技术本科教育计划”旨在通过实践方法教育新墨西哥大学的本科生关于纳米科学和纳米技术（NS&amp；NT）的历史和现状，以便为21世纪培养有见识的公民和有竞争力的劳动力。为了实现这一目标，将开发四门新课程，并在现有课程中引入三个关于纳米技术的新模块。该项目将通过在这一领域建立一个重点，将纳米技术制度化纳入新墨西哥大学soe的课程。新墨西哥大学机械工程系（ME）和电气与计算机工程系（ECE）这两个系领导着这项工作，超过328名本科生将接触到NS&amp；NT的材料，其中包括相当数量的西班牙裔和美洲原住民学生。此外，K-12共享内容对象（SCOs）将由构建它们的少数族裔本科生开发和展示，共同pi将在每年2至4次STEM教育者研讨会上展示NS&amp；NT材料的组成部分，并向参与者展示如何将这些内容应用到STEM高中课程中。这些合作项目还计划在整个项目过程中影响大约100名教师，这些教师将反过来影响当地/农村公立学校和新墨西哥州印第安人保留地的数百名学生。

The goal of this Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program at the University of New Mexico, entitled "NUE: An Integrated Multidisicplinary Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education Progarm at the University of New Mexico", under the direction of Dr. Zayd C. Leseman, is to educate undergraduate students at UNM about the history and current state of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NS&NT) via hands-on approaches in order to produce an informed citizenry and competitive work force for the 21st century. To achieve this goal four new courses will be developed and three new modules on nanotechnology will be introduced into existing courses. This project will institutionalize nanotechnology into UNM-SOE's curriculum by creating a concentration in this area. Between the two UNM departments leading this effort, Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), more than 328 undergraduate students will be exposed to the NS&NT material including a significant number of Hispanic and Native Americans students. In addition, K-12 Shareable Content Objects (SCOs) will be developed and presented by the minority undergraduate students who constructed them and the co-PIs' will present components of the NS&NT material developed at 2 to 4 STEM Educator Workshops per year and show the participants how to adapt these into STEM high school courses. The co-PIs also plan to impact approximately 100 teachers over the course of this program who in turn will impact several hundred students at local/rural public schools and from New Mexico's Native American Reservations.
