NUE: Nanotechnology EXposure for Undergraduate Students (NANO-NEXUS)

这个纳米技术本科教育（NUE）在工程计划，题为“NUE：纳米技术实习为本科生（NUE-NEXUS）”，在技术的博士Eui-Hyeok杨的指导下，史蒂文斯研究所，旨在创建纳米技术和本科工程教育之间的联系在史蒂文斯扩大纳米技术的理解及其应用到广泛的本科工程学生群体。在这个程序中，两个新的纳米技术课程，纳米300：介绍纳米科学与工程和纳米325：介绍纳米纤维和表征，将提供一种手段，教育广泛的学生群体在纳米技术。新课程是双重目的，教育更广泛的工程学生人口在纳米科学和纳米技术，同时作为那些本科生选择追求本科纳米技术研究轨道的基础。由于研究轨道将有助于增加旨在研究生课程的学生的管道，记录的成功将为其他寻求促进本科研究作为未来研究生学习的基础提供一个可复制的范例。 集成在拟议的计划是纳米技术教育材料的传播，有利于工程教育界有兴趣将纳米技术纳入工程课程，并在适当的，从事纳米技术材料和模块化元素，K-12和社区学院域。这些建议的元素扩展现有的跨学科纳米技术研究生课程的努力，本科水平，并与史蒂文斯的机构愿景，创造一个世界级的研究和教育在纳米技术的推力紧密结合。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Nanotechnology EXposure for Undergraduate Students (NUE-NEXUS)", at Stevens Institute of Technology under the direction of Dr. Eui-Hyeok Yang, seeks to create a nexus between nanotechnology and undergraduate engineering education at Stevens to expand understanding of nanotechnology and its applications to a broad undergraduate engineering student population. In this program, two new nanotechnology courses, NANO 300: Introduction to Nanoscale Science and Engineering and NANO 325: Introduction to Nanofabrication and Characterization, will provide a means to educate a broad student population in nanotechnology. The new courses are dual-purpose, educating the broader engineering student population in nanoscience and nanotechnology while serving as the foundation for those undergraduate students choosing to pursue the undergraduate nanotechnology research track. Since the research track will serve to increase the pipeline of students aiming for graduate programs, documented success will provide a replicable paradigm for others looking to promote undergraduate research as a foundation for future graduate studies. Integrated within the proposed program are dissemination of nanotechnology educational materials to benefit the engineering education community interested in incorporating nanotechnology into engineering curricula and in bringing appropriate, engaging nanotechnology materials and modular elements to K-12 and community college domains. These proposed elements extend the efforts of the existing interdisciplinary Nanotechnology Graduate Program to the undergraduate level, and are tightly aligned with Stevens' institutional vision of creating a world-class research and education thrust in nanotechnology.
