Collaborative Research: Cross-institutional Nano-technology Education and Workforce Training Project

这是一个名为“合作研究：跨机构纳米技术教育和劳动力培训项目”的工程合作项目，由代顿大学和辛克莱社区学院的Andrew W. Sarangan博士和Surinder M. Jain博士指导。该计划将侧重于：1)连接高中、社区学院、大学和选定的行业。2)开发提供交互式纳米技术实验室体验的替代方法。3)创造纳米技术实习机会。4)开展高中纳米技术学习与认知活动。5)为中学教师举办纳米技术研讨会。这个项目将提高人们对纳米技术概念和纳米科学产业的认识。这种将高中、社区学院、大学和工业伙伴连接起来的多机构纵向模式，将为其他寻求将中学生和本科生连接到有效和负担得起的纳米技术教育和就业途径的机构提供一种模式。

This is a collaborative NUE in Engineering program entitled, "Collaborative Research: Cross-institutional Nano-technology Education and Workforce Training Project", at the University of Dayton and Sinclair Community College, under the direction of Dr. Andrew W. Sarangan and Dr. Surinder M. Jain. The program will focus on: 1) Connecting high schools, a community college, a university and selected industries. 2) Developing alternative methods for delivering interactive nanotechnology laboratory experiences. 3) Creating nanotechnology internship opportunities. 4) Developing high school nanotechnology learning and awareness activities. 5) Developing nanotechnology workshops for secondary school teachers.This project will increase awareness of nanotechnology concepts and careers in the nanoscience industry. The multi-institutional longitudinal model, connecting high schools, a community college, a university and industry partners, will offer a model for adoption by other institutions seeking to connect secondary school students and undergraduates to an effective and affordable pathway for nanotechnology education and employment.
