NUE: Enhancing Undergraduate Students' Learning and Research Experiences through Hands on Experiments on Bio-nanoengineering

这个纳米技术工程本科教育（NUE）项目名为“NUE：北卡罗来纳农业技术州立大学（NCAT）在Narayan Bhattarai博士的指导下，将汇集来自化学和生物工程系的跨学科教师团队，机械工程系和化学系通过引入将纳米技术与生物系统相结合的设备和系统的培训来加强本科生在生物工程方面的学习，以开发新材料、仿生纳米结构和工具。NCAT的工程学院一直是美国培养非洲裔工程师最多的两个学院之一。拟议的NUE项目预计将为大量未被充分代表的少数民族学生提供专注于生物纳米工程的培训和指导。此外，受该计划影响的本科生预计将增加NCAT传统以及非传统工程和科学学科（如生物工程、纳米科学和纳米工程、计算科学与工程）研究生课程的人才库。

This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Enhancing Undergraduate Students Learning and Research Experiences through Hands on Experiments on Bio-nanoengineering", at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University (NCAT), under the direction of Dr. Narayan Bhattarai, will bring together a team of interdisciplinary faculty members from the Department of Chemical and Bioengineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Chemistry to enhance undergraduate student learning in bioengineering by introducing training on devices and systems that integrate nanoscale technologies with biological systems for the development of new materials, biomimetic nanostructures and tools. NCAT's College of Engineering is consistently among the top two producers of African-American engineers in the nation. The proposed NUE project is expected to provide a significant number of underrepresented minority students with training and mentoring focused on bio-nanoengineering. Further the undergraduate students impacted by this program are expected to add to the talent pool for NCAT's graduate programs in traditional as well as in nontraditional engineering and science disciplines such as Bioengineering, Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, and Computational Science and Engineering.
