NUE: Transforming Nanoscale Science and Engineering Undergraduate Education

在Chee Wei Wong博士的指导下，哥伦比亚大学的NUE工程项目题为“NUE：变革纳米尺度科学与工程本科教育”，其目标是创建一个制度化的跨学科纳米技术本科项目，跨越多个部门，为目标约90名（占同期学生的25%）本科生提供服务。将根据项目小组在石墨烯、纳米力学、纳米结构太阳能光电学和纳米电子学等方面的科学进展，开发七个纳米级科学和工程实验室模块。 这些实践模块将与纳米技术基础的理论数值模拟课程一起教授。课程将覆盖哥伦比亚大学和巴纳德学院（一所本科女子学院），实验室模块可以进一步作为其他纳米相关课程的独立实验。 此外，本科生的研究经验将根据该计划提供，以及在通用电气全球研究中心和布鲁克海文国家实验室功能纳米材料中心的暑期实习。所有课程材料都将在网上免费提供，供广泛传播。 理论基础课程的讲稿将被录制下来，并可供异步下载。

The goal of this NUE in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Transforming Nanoscale Science and Engineering Undergraduate Education", at Columbia University, under the direction of Dr. Chee Wei Wong, is to create an institutionalized cross-disciplinary nanotechnology undergraduate program, reaching across multiple departments to serve a targeted ~90 (25% of cohort) undergraduates. Seven laboratory modules on nanoscale science and engineering will be developed, based on scientific advances by the project team such as in graphene, nanomechanics, nanostructured solar photovoltaics, and nanoelectronics. These hands-on modules will be taught in conjunction with a theoretical numerical simulations class on the foundations of nanotechnology.The classes will reach out across Columbia University and Barnard College (an undergraduate women's college), and the laboratory modules can further serve as stand-alone experiments in other nanoscale related curricula. In addition, research experiences for undergraduates will be provided under this program, as well as summer internships at GE Global Research and the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory. All course materials will be made freely available online for broad dissemination. Lectures in the theoretical foundations class will be recorded and made available for asynchronous download.
