ABSTRACTThe Microelectronic Engineering Department of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) proposes to undertake a one-year planning project to define and develop new undergraduate MEMs and nanotechnology concentration programs. The programs will be available to students as an option (concentration) or as a minor within the existing baccalaureate programs. A multidisciplinary planning team will be constituted that will collect information and conduct surveys, using industry leaders, employers and research institutions for important guidance. With the existing BS program in Microelectronic Engineering as a foundation, the team will seek to assemble a multidisciplinary curriculum that best fits the educational needs of students and the requirements of U.S. employers in the emerging field of MEMs and nanotechnology. This is an opportunity for a department level reform in the curriculum to equip the students with a knowledge and experience in MEMs and nanotechnology and to expand opportunities for its graduates beyond traditional microelectronics and in technologies requiring integration with microelectronics such as data storage and Microsystems technologies. It is proposed to develop: (1) 'minor' programs in MEMs and nanotechnology consisting of at least four courses for undergraduate students of Microelectronic Engineering; (2) a nanofabrication course for students of other science and engineering disciplines; (3) creation of nanotechnology/MEMs based multidisciplinary design experience for undergraduates; (4) building of cooperative experience in MEMs and nanotechnology; (5) using co-op evaluations as a means for outcome evaluation and technological advancement of the program; (6) develop outreach activities for minority student recruitment and K-12 education. The curriculum will emphasize hands-on student access to equipment for laboratory experiments; cross-discipline mentored undergraduate research projects, and will use a combination of existing and newly developed courses from several institute departments or colleges. Built into the program will be means for evaluating outcomes so that the curriculum, once established, can be updated or adjusted according to the needs of the rapidly emerging field of MEMs and nanotechnology.

摘要罗切斯特理工学院（RIT）的微型工程系提议进行为期一年的计划项目，以定义和开发新的本科MEMS和纳米技术集中计划。 这些课程将作为选项（集中）或现有学士学位课程中的未成年人提供。将组成一个多学科的计划团队，该团队将使用行业领导者，雇主和研究机构进行重要指导，收集信息并进行调查。 以微电子工程的现有BS计划作为基础，该团队将寻求组装一项多学科课程，该课程最适合学生的教育需求以及美国雇主在MEMS和纳米技术的新兴领域的要求。 这是课程中部门级别改革的机会，可以使学生在MEMS和纳米技术方面具有知识和经验，并为其毕业生提供机会以外的传统微电子学和需要与微电子学（如数据存储和微型系统技术）进行整合的技术。 提议开发：（1）MEMS和纳米技术中的“次要”计划，包括至少四门小学工程本科生的课程； （2）针对其他科学和工程学科的学生的纳米制作课程； （3）创建基于纳米技术/MEMS的多学科设计经验； （4）在MEMS和纳米技术中建立合作经验； （5）使用合作评估作为结果评估和技术进步的手段； （6）为少数族裔学生招聘和K-12教育开发外展活动。 该课程将强调动手的学生进入实验室实验的设备；跨学科指导的本科研究项目，将结合来自几个学院或学院的现有和新开发的课程。 该计划中的内置将是评估结果的手段，以便一旦建立，就可以根据MEMS和纳米技术的快速新兴领域的需求进行更新或调整课程。
