NUE: Using Peer-to-Peer Support to build NEMS and Consider SEEE Implications of Nanotechnology

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UCSB）的目标，题为“NUE：利用对等支持建立NEMS并考虑纳米技术的SEE影响”，在Sumita Pennathur博士的指导下，是培养新一代的全面发展和受过良好教育的工程师谁是熟练使用切割-用于构建纳米级系统（如NEMS）和纳米级器件的边缘纳米制造工具和工艺。 为此，将制定一套三门新课程和对现有课程的修改。其中两门课程将提高UCSB本科生构建纳米级设备和系统（NEMS）的能力，第三门新课程将侧重于他们的沟通技巧。 此外，还计划实施一项高中教育计划，将高中生与参加NEMS课程的本科生导师配对，以提高UCSB工程师的沟通技能。UCSB计划将通过跨广泛科学的教育途径加速纳米技术的进步。 密集的，动手训练纳米纤维技术建设NEMS和通过研究经验将准备工程师这个令人兴奋的领域。

The goal of this Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program at the University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB) entitled "NUE: Using Peer-to-Peer Support to build NEMS and Consider SEE Implications of Nanotechnology", under the direction of Dr. Sumita Pennathur, is to prepare a new generation of well-rounded and educated engineers who are skilled in using cutting-edge nanofabrication tools and processes to build nanoscale systems (such as NEMS) and nanoscale devices. To do this a set of three new courses and a modification to an existing course will be developed. Two of the courses will increase a UCSB undergraduate's ability to build nanoscale devices and systems (NEMS), and the third, a new course will focus on their communication skills. Also proposed to be implemented is a high school education program that pairs high school students with undergraduate mentors who are enrolled in the NEMS class to enhance the communication skills of UCSB engineers.The UCSB program will accelerate advances in nanotechnology via educational pathways across a broad range of sciences. Intensive, hands-on training in nanofabrication techniques building NEMS and through research experiences will prepare engineers for this exciting field.
