This Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Integration of Nanoscale Devices and Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology into Undergraduate Engineering and Science Curricula", at the University of Cincinnati (UC) under the direction of Dr. F. James Boerio, will enhance undergraduate education at UC by introducing two new courses entitled Nanoscale Devices and Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology into the undergraduate engineering and science curricula. The new courses will build on the background that students have gained in two existing NUE courses entitled Introduction to Nanoscale Science and Technology and Experimental Nanoscale Science and Technology to provide students at UC with outstanding eudcation in nanoscale science and engineering. All four courses will be offered yearly, forming the basis for a minor focused on interdisciplinary nanoscale science and technology that UC will develop subsequently, and will be cross-listed by the Colleges of Engineering and Arts and Sciences, making them readily available to students in many different disciplines. The broader impact of this project will include adapting the experimental modules for presentation to students in grades 4-12 through an extensive outreach program; addressing the need for a technologically advanced workforce in Ohio in the area of nanomaterials and nanotechnology; addressing the need for an educational enterprise that creates such a workforce; and making the experimental modules associated with the new courses available to all universities participating in the Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials in which UC partners.

纳米技术本科教育 (NUE) 工程项目题为“NUE：将纳米级器件和纳米技术的环境方面整合到本科工程和科学课程中”，在辛辛那提大学 (UC) 的 F. James Boerio 博士的指导下进行，将通过在本科工程和科学课程中引入题为“纳米器件”和“纳米技术的环境方面”的两门新课程来加强加州大学的本科教育。 新课程将以学生在 NUE 现有两门课程（题为“纳米科学与技术概论”和“实验纳米科学与技术”）中获得的背景为基础，为 UC 的学生提供出色的纳米科学与工程教育。所有四门课程都将每年提供，为加州大学随后开发的跨学科纳米科学和技术辅修课程奠定基础，并将由工程学院、艺术与科学学院交叉列出，使这些课程可供以下大学的学生使用：许多不同的学科。该项目的更广泛影响将包括通过广泛的外展计划调整实验模块以向 4-12 年级的学生展示；满足俄亥俄州在纳米材料和纳米技术领域对技术先进劳动力的需求；满足对培养此类劳动力的教育企业的需求；并将与新课程相关的实验模块提供给参与加州大学合作伙伴的金属生物材料革命工程研究中心（ERC）的所有大学。
