NSE Education Workshop

该奖项为南加州大学提供资金，以支持将于2014年12月11日至12日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的NSE教育研讨会。 该研讨会将在James Murday博士的指导下，由NSF工程理事会和教育和人力资源理事会共同资助。拟议的研讨会将讨论全球纳米科学/工程教育（NSEE）面临的挑战/机遇，特别关注：a）评估全球NSEE的努力，看看什么是最有效的; B）扩大最佳NSEE资源的可用性/使用的目标，c）NSE、信息技术、生物学/医学和认知过程之间的共生关系（美国脑1和欧洲联盟脑项目倡议2）; d）新发布的美国下一代K-12科学标准3带来的NSEE科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）机会; e）随着纳米技术继续快速渗透市场，劳动力需求不断变化; f）持续进行公众教育和参与纳米科学、工程和技术的需要和可能机制;以及g）NSEE在扩大STEM劳动力参与方面的作用。拟议的研讨会将解决所有教育阶段的NSE需求。这种综合办法是必要的，因为教育的各个阶段都是相互关联的。

This award provides funding to the University of Southern California for the support of the NSE Education Workshop to be held in Arlington, Virginia on December 11-12, 2014. The workshop will be under the direction of Dr. James Murday and co-funded by the NSF Directorate for Engineering and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources.The proposed workshop will address the challenges/opportunities facing nanoscale science/engineering education (NSEE) worldwide, with special attention to: a) an assessment of the global NSEE efforts to see what has been working best; b) the goal of scaling up availability/usage of the best NSEE resources, c) the symbiosis among NSE, information technology, biology/medicine, and cognitive processes (U.S. BRAIN1 and European Union Brain Project initiatives2); d) the NSEE Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) opportunities engendered by the newly released U.S. Next Generation K-12 Science Standards3; e) changing needs in the workforce as nanotechnology continues its rapid market penetration; f) the need and possible mechanisms for ongoing public education and engagement with nanoscale science, engineering, and technology; and g) roles for NSEE in broadening participation in the STEM workforce.The proposed workshop will address the NSE needs for all the stages of education. This integrated approach is necessary since the stages of education are all interrelated.
