NUE: NanO StUdio: An Immersive Ambience for Nano Educational Experiences

在萨瓦斯·卡亚博士的指导下，俄亥俄大学的纳米技术本科教育（NUE）工程项目名为“纳米工作室：纳米教育体验的沉浸式氛围”，将为俄亥俄大学的本科生建立一个创新的沉浸式教育平台——纳米工作室。纳米工作室是一个由本科生团队运营的公共展厅，旨在给人留下深刻的视听印象，并提供与纳米材料、纳米结构、纳米传感器、纳米器件和先进显微镜技术相关的动手教育体验。纳米工作室是一个愿景的产物，将纳米尺度的科学和工程从无菌的洁净室环境带到公共层面，学生和参观者都可以探索新的发展，并对纳米技术赋予的材料，设备和能力有一个现实和正确的理解。提出的学习工作室概念远远超出了传统实验室组件或课件的开发，这是迄今为止许多NUE提案的重点。除了本科招生和培训的主要目标外，该项目还为该地区的高中生、家长和其他感兴趣的各方提供了一种了解纳米科学和纳米工程中使用的原理和工具的手段。作为一个交叉项目，它还将为俄亥俄州与西弗吉尼亚州和肯塔基州接壤的贫困和服务不足的东南角的本科生提供夏季研究机会和津贴。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: NanO StUdio: An Immersive Ambience for Nano Educational Experiences", at Ohio University under the direction of Dr. Savas Kaya, will establish an innovative and immersive educational platform, the nanO stUdio, for undergraduates at Ohio University. The nanO stUdio is a publicly accessible showroom run by a team of undergraduates and designed to impress audio-visually and provide hands-on educational experiences related to nanomaterials, nanostructures, nanosensors, nanodevices and advanced microscopy techniques. The nanO stUdio is the product of a vision to bring the nano-scale science and engineering out of the sterile clean room environments to the public level where both the students and visitors can explore new developments, and have a realistic and correct understanding of the materials, devices and capabilities endowed by nanotechnology.The proposed learning studio concept goes well beyond the development of a conventional laboratory component or courseware, which has been the focus of many NUE proposals to date. In addition to the major objective of undergraduate student recruitment and training, the project also provides a means for the area high school students, parents and other interested parties to learn about principles and tools used in nanoscience and nanoengineering. As a crosscutting program, it will also provide summer research opportunities and stipends for the undergraduate students in the impoverished and underserved southeastern corner of Ohio bordering West Virginia and Kentucky.
