Chemistry (12). This collaborative project is seeking to improve the quality of STEM education by incorporating innovative modules focusing on nano- and bio-nanotechnology and related fields throughout the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. The research expertise at a private graduate institution is being used to develop similar faculty expertise at a public four-year college and a community college. Laboratory modules, originating from research projects on nanomaterials, are being developed and tested in courses at the three institutions as a means of stimulating student interest in nanotechnology, nanoscience, and bio-related areas. This collaboration is creating a network of practicing educators across a diverse set of campuses who can share expertise as they implement new guided inquiry-based teaching strategies. Project goals include (1) engaging undergraduate STEM students in the active learning of important nanotechnology concepts and applications in modern society; (2) demonstrating that nanotechnology is truly interdisciplinary and relevant in general, physical, inorganic, analytical and biochemistry laboratories. The Broader Impact of this project lies in the education and training of students and teachers in the emerging field of nano- and bio-nanotechnology across ethnically and academically diverse student populations as well as in promoting student entry into nanotechnology and related fields.

化学 (12)。该合作项目旨在通过在整个本科化学课程中纳入专注于纳米和生物纳米技术及相关领域的创新模块来提高 STEM 教育质量。私立研究生机构的研究专业知识正在被用来发展公立四年制大学和社区学院类似的教师专业知识。源自纳米材料研究项目的实验室模块正在三个机构的课程中开发和测试，作为激发学生对纳米技术、纳米科学和生物相关领域兴趣的手段。此次合作正在建立一个由不同校园的实践教育工作者组成的网络，他们可以在实施新的基于引导的探究式教学策略时分享专业知识。项目目标包括 (1) 让 STEM 本科生主动学习重要的纳米技术概念和现代社会的应用； (2) 证明纳米技术是真正的跨学科的，并且与普通、物理、无机、分析和生物化学实验室相关。 该项目的更广泛影响在于对不同种族和学术背景的学生群体进行纳米和生物纳米技术新兴领域的学生和教师的教育和培训，以及促进学生进入纳米技术和相关领域。
