NUE: Engineering Innovation in Biomedical Nanotechnology

这个NUE项目的目标，生物医学纳米技术的工程创新，在亚利桑那大学（UA），在博士的指导下。Enikov将通过创新使用机电一体化技术选修高级设计课程，以及ABET授权的高级工程顶点设计项目，开发引入纳米科学和工程的课程。拟议的活动包括：1）提供机电一体化设计课程，重点是使用巨磁阻（GMR）传感器和制造电纺制造单元。2)指导两个高级顶点设计团队/年，由工程和商业学生组成，他们将在临床应用中使用GMR传感器和电纺设备（与UA医学院和管理学院合作）。3)展示了一种智能导管的工作原型，该导管具有通过应用超顺磁性纳米颗粒实现的嵌入式流量传感器。拟议的项目旨在开发一种可供其他机构采用的纳米技术教育模式。为了扩大该项目的影响，PI与埃勒管理学院的UA McGuire创业与创新中心合作，由工程和商业学生组成的学生团队将开发基于纳米技术的产品创意，并随后创建产品原型，作为工程高级顶点设计课程的一部分。该项目建立在PI Enikov博士之前的工作基础上，在开发纳米技术本科实验室实验，这表明，进化设计方法可以成功地用于完成一个相对复杂的纳米技术项目的框架内的标准初中和高中课程。

The objective of this NUE project, Engineering Innovation in Biomedical Nanotechnology, at the University of Arizona (UA), under the direction of Dr. Eniko T. Enikov, is to develop to introduce nanoscale science and engineering through an innovative use of a technical elective senior design course in mechatronics, followed by an ABET-mandated senior-level engineeirng capstone design project.The proposed activities include: 1) Delivery of mechatronics design course focused on use of giant magneto-resistance (GMR) sensors and the fabrication of an electro-spinning manufacturing cell. 2) Mentoring of two senior capstone design teams/year comprised of engineering and business students who will use the GMR sensors and electro-spinning apparatus in clinical applications (In collaboration with the UA College of Medicine and the College of Management). 3) Demonstration of a working prototype of a smart catheter with embedded flow sensor enabled by the application of super-paramagnetic nano-particles. The proposed project seeks to develop a model for nanotechnology education that can be adopted by other institutions. To broaden the impact of the project, the PIs have partnered with the UA McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Eller College of Management whereby student teams of engineering and business students will develop product ideas based on nanotechnology and subsequently create product prototypes as part of the senior capstone design course in engineering.The project builds on the prior work of the PI, Dr. Enikov, in developing undergraduate laboratory experiments in nanotechnology, which showed that an evolutionary design approach can be used successfully to complete a relatively complicated nanotechnology project within the framework of the standard junior- and senior-year courses.
