NUE: An lnterdisciplinary Practicum Approach to Nanotechnology Curricula lntegration

这个NUE项目的目标，一个跨学科的实践方法，纳米技术课程整合，在乔治华盛顿大学（GWU）博士的指导下，Saniya LeBlanc是开发训练有素的学生使用一个为期两年的纳米技术研究员计划的本科生谁的进展从受训人员到专家对新的纳米制造和表征工具的队列。2.通过两门新课程，纳米技术设备系统：它们是如何制造，测量和货币化，并将纳米技术连接到您的世界，将纳米技术研究和概念整合到多个学科和多年的课程中。3.为大学和6-12年级的教师和学生提供教学和学习资源和经验。该计划针对本科生涯早期的学生，汇集了来自科学，工程，商业和政策等广泛学科的学生。它为这些学生提供先进设备的密集培训，并使他们参与纳米技术的研究和应用。从多个部门拉，它创建了一个学生谁经历学习和培训，同时从不同的学科和个人背景贡献的观点一起社区。拟议的课程将实现纳米技术整合到多个部门的课程，而不需要大规模修改核心课程类或增加显着的信用要求。项目将增加学生对纳米技术和核心课程的兴趣，通过提供它们如何相关的真实世界的例子。该计划利用大学生作为纳米技术大使，通过与大学、初中和高中教师和学生共享的创新、互动资源，将纳米技术传播到更广泛的社区，这些活动将创造和准备未来的劳动力，以发明和实施下一代技术。 学生开发的教学和learerning资源将在整个GWU传播，到其他大学，并进入教师和学生在所有女孩和多元文化的学校在华盛顿，华盛顿特区大都会地区的手中。

The objectives of this NUE project, An Interdisciplinary Practicum Approach to Nanotechnology Curricula Integration, at George Washington University (GWU) under the direction of Dr. Saniya LeBlanc are to develop cohorts of highly trained students using a two-year Nanotechnology Fellows Program comprised of undergraduate students who progress from trainees to experts on new nano-fabrication and characterization tools. 2. Integrate nanotechnology research and concepts into the curriculum across multiple disciplines and years through two new courses, Nanotechnology Devices & Systems: How They Are Made, Measured, and Monetized and Connecting Nanotechnology to Your World. 3. Provide teaching and learning resources and experiences for college and 6-12 grade teachers and students.The program targets students early in their undergraduate careers and brings together students from a wide range of disciplines including science, engineering, business, and policy. It provides these students with intense training on sophisticated equipment and engages them with nanotechnology research and applications. Pulling from multiple departments, it creates a community of students who undergo learning and training together while contributing perspectives from diverse disciplinary and personal backgrounds. The proposed courses would achieve integration of nanotechnology into multiple departments curricula without requiring extensive modification of core curriculum classes or adding significant credit requirements. Projects will increase student interest in nanotechnology and core curricula by providing real-world examples of how they are related. The proposed program uses undergraduate students as nanotechnology ambassadors who disseminate nanotechnology into the broader community through innovative, interactive resources which are shared with college and middle and high school teachers and students.These activities will create and prepare a future workforce to invent and implement next-generation technologies. Student-developed teaching and leaerning resources will be disseminated across GWU, to other universities, and into the hands of teachers and students at all-girls and multicultural schools in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
