NUE: Nanotechnology Minor at Washington University in St. Louis

圣路易斯华盛顿大学（WU）工程项目的纳米技术本科教育（NUE）的目标是“NUE：圣路易斯华盛顿大学的纳米技术未成年人”，在董勤博士的指导下，吸引和吸引本科生学习纳米科学，工程和技术。 将为校园内所有本科生创建纳米技术未成年人，并将提供总共20个夏季研究实习机会，以开发与K-12教育外展纳米技术相关的过程导向引导探究学习（POGIL）模块。 这一新举措将提供一个很好的机会，建立一个跨学科的教育和研究计划，在纳米技术的本科生，重点是以下几个组成部分：1）学习，使学生接触到一个多方面的，综合的方法来了解纳米技术的基础知识和新的发展，以及其对环境和社会的影响; 2）培训，为学生提供纳米研究设施（NRF）的研究经验-NSF支持的国家纳米技术基础设施网络（NNIN）的网站，并在参与教师的实验室探索研究工具和发现纳米技术的前沿;以及3）参与将学生与社区和社会联系起来，以传授和促进高中学生和教师对纳米技术的基本概念理解。

The goal of this Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program at Washington University (WU) in St. Louis entitled "NUE: Nanotechnology Minor at Washington University University in St. Louis", under the direction of Dr. Dong Qin, is to attract and engage undergraduate students to the study of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. A Minor in Nanotechnology for all undergraduate students across the campus will be created and a total of twenty summer research internships will be provided to develop the Process Orientated Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) modules related to Nanotechnology for K-12 education outreach. This new initiative at WU will provide an excellent opportunity to build an interdisciplinary education and research program in nanotechnology for undergraduate students with a focus on the following components: 1) learning that exposes students to a multifaceted, integrated approach to learning about the fundamentals and new developments in nanotechnology, as well as its environmental and societal impacts; 2) training that offers students research experience in the Nano Research Facility (NRF)-a site of the NSF supported National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) and in the laboratories of participating faculty for exploration of research tools and discovery in the frontiers of nanotechnology; and 3) engaging that connects the students with community and society to impart and promote a basic conceptual understanding of nanotechnology in high school students and teachers.
