This NUE in Engineering program entitled, "NUE: Development of an Undergraduate Certificate Program in Nanoengineering for Training the Workforce of Tomorrow", at Wayne State University (WSU), under the direction of Dr. Guangzhao Mao, will create a Nanoengineering Undergraduate Certificate Program (NUCP) that will target current engineering students as well as B.Sc. degree holders who wish to expand their educational background. Rather than creating a new degree program, the NUCP will offer accelerated and in-depth training on nanotechnology at the undergraduate level in the form of a certificate program. The Program seeks to meet the demands of Michigan's largely manufacturing economy and also the high-tech industries currently settling in the state. The NUCP seeks partnerships with major Michigan companies as well as start-ups in the Detroit Tech Town area to create an engineering curriculum that meets industrial demands. To that end the project team has established partnerships with BASF and DTE Energy. The primary objective of the proposal is to create the NUCP for specialized undergraduate training in nanotechology. Other objectives are: 1) to teach emerging technologies at the undergraduate level, 2) to train a new adaptive workforce, and 3) to retrain working engineers and professionals. In order to achieve these objectives, a certificate program consisting of four new courses will be created: 1) NE5300 Introduction to Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine, 2) NE5100 Nanoengineering Laboratory, 3) NE5200 Scale-down Engineering: from Engineered Sysems to Nanotechnology, and 4) NE5300 Nanoengineering Reesaerch and Capstone Design. The courses will be taught by faculty members from different engineering departments with emphasis on integration of teaching and research, as well as cross-disciplinary teaching. In addition, the engineering faculty will collaborate with faculty from political science and economics at WSU to conduct program evaluation.The NUCP will provide a mechanism for undergraduate students, many with diverse backgrounds, to acquire specific knowledge and skills in nanoengineering beyond their traditional disciplinary training. The expected impacts on the undergraduate curriculum are as follows: 1) Courses offering multidisciplinary training in nanoengineering will be created and integrated into one certificate program. 2) Existing research infrastructure will be used in undergraduate education. 3) Undergraduate students will obtain research-level career training. 4) Retraining will be offered to working engineers, enabling them to advance their careers in Michigan and elsewhere. The NUCP will: 1) prepare the future workforce for careers in emerging technologies, 2) focus on relevance to systems and devices, and 3) invigorate undergraduate engineering education by developing new teaching modules that cross traditional departmental and disciplinary boundaries.

这项题为“ NUE：在纳米工程学的本科证书计划培训明天劳动力的本科证书计划”的nue中，在韦恩州立大学（WSU）的指导下，在广山毛（Guangzhao Mao）的指导下，将创建一个纳米引擎的纳米工程学本科生证书计划（NUCP），该计划将针对当前的工程学学生以及B.Scsc.B.Sc.B.Sc..B.Sc.Sc..希望扩大教育背景的学位持有者。 NUCP不会以证书计划的形式在本科级别提供对纳米技术的加速和深入培训，而不是创建新的学位课程。该计划旨在满足密歇根州在很大程度上制造经济以及目前在该州定居的高科技行业的需求。 NUCP寻求与底特律科技镇地区的主要密歇根州公司以及初创企业建立合作伙伴关系，以创建满足工业需求的工程课程。为此，项目团队已经与巴斯夫和DTE Energy建立了伙伴关系。该提案的主要目的是为纳米技术专门的本科培训创建NUCP。其他目标是：1）在本科级别教新兴技术，2）培训新的适应性劳动力，3）培训工作工程师和专业人士。 In order to achieve these objectives, a certificate program consisting of four new courses will be created: 1) NE5300 Introduction to Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine, 2) NE5100 Nanoengineering Laboratory, 3) NE5200 Scale-down Engineering: from Engineered Sysems to Nanotechnology, and 4) NE5300 Nanoengineering Reesaerch and Capstone Design.这些课程将由来自不同工程部门的教职员工教授，重点是教学和研究的整合以及跨学科教学。此外，工程学院将与WSU的政治学和经济学的教师合作进行计划评估。NUCP将为许多具有不同背景的本科生提供一种机制，以获得纳米工程的特定知识和技能，而不是传统学科培训。 对本科课程的预期影响如下：1）提供纳米工程多学科培训的课程将创建并集成到一个证书计划中。 2）现有的研究基础设施将用于本科教育。 3）本科生将获得研究级的职业培训。 4）将向工作人员提供培训，使他们能够促进密歇根州和其他地方的职业发展。 NUCP将：1）为新兴技术职业的未来劳动力做好准备，2）专注于与系统和设备相关的工作，3）通过开发跨越传统部门和学科界限的新教学模块来激发本科工程教育。
