The quantum harmonic oscillator is a fundamental piece of physics. In this paper, we present a self-contained full-fledged analytical solution to the quantum harmonic oscillator. To this end, we use an eight-step procedure that only uses standard mathematical tools available in natural science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. This solution is accessible not only for physics students but also for undergraduate engineering and chemistry students. We provide interactive web-based graphs for the reader to observe the shape of the wave functions for an electron and a proton when both are subject to the same potential. Each of the eight steps in our solution procedure is treated as a separate problem in order to allow the reader to quickly consult any step without the need to review the entire article.

“…There exists a critical need to supplement traditional intra-disciplinary training with interdisciplinary nanoengineering curriculum to address the needs of both emerging nanotechnology enterprises and rapidly growing nanotechnology industry Evans et al (2003). These prominent trends identify many desirable changes in undergraduate science, engineering and technology curricula, education and training (National Nanotechnology Initiative Strategic Plan, 2007;Evans et al, 2003;Fincher, 2009;Jackson, 2003;Lyshevski et al, 2006Lyshevski et al, , 2011Lyshevski & Fuller, 2007;Martirosyan et al, 2012). Development of nanoscience research and educational programs is one of the goals of the College of Science, Mathematics, and Technology (CSMT) strategic plan which addresses the need for this fast-growing emerging area, and provides students with additional opportunities to succeed in their careers after graduation.…”

at Brownsville (UTB) is reported. The rationale for the established multidisciplinary Nanoscience Concentration Certificate Program (NCCP) is to: (i) develop nanotechnology-relevant courses within a comprehensive Science, Engineering and Technology curriculum, and, to offer students an opportunity to graduate with a certificate in nanoscience and nanotechnology; (ii) to contribute to students' success in achieving student outcomes across all college's majors, and, improve the breath, depth and quality of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates' education; (iii) through NCCP, recruit certificateand associate-degree seeking students into four year programs in engineering and physical sciences. A long-term goal is to develop an ABET accredited bachelor program in nanoscience. This program is expected to reach out to a large group of undergraduate students in a coordinated manner, enhance students' knowledge and skills, as well as facilitate efforts of individual faculty members in STEM education. The UTB NCCP is supported by the NSF NUE program, under which we are developing and offering seven upper-level interdisciplinary undergraduate courses. These courses and program are assessed and evaluated.

“…INTRODUCTION Many attempts have been pursued to develop an interdisciplinary engineering curriculum that will allow undergraduate and graduate students to successfully enter the engineering fields [1]. To meet the academia and industry challenges, different nano-and microengineeringcentered curricula have been introduced [2][3][4][5][6]. It becomes increasingly difficult to achieve evolving educational objectives and expanded goals without the unified theme.…”

This paper discusses the use of a systems theory, design coverage and control topics in nanotechnology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) courses developed and offered in the College of Engineering in RIT. The multidisciplinary nano and microengineering have accomplished a phenomenal growth over the last twenty years due to the rapid advances in microelectronics, molecular technologies, bulk and surface micromachining, computer-aided-design (CAD), etc. Recent fundamental and applied research and developments in molecular electronics and informatics have been notably contributed to the current progress. Enabling nano/micro engineering utilizes and depends on the fundamentals, software and hardware. These prominent developments largely depend on modern engineering and science providing the end-users with the needed technologies and design concurrency. With the increasing demands in high-performance envisioned nanosystems and emerged microsystems, designers apply new concepts. The role of nanotechnology and MEMS courses in the engineering curriculum is examined. We discuss the integration of design, optimization, control and analysis topics in Nano Science, Engineering and Technology (NanoSET) and MEMS courses. The MEMS curriculum consists of three courses, e.g., MEMS Design, MEMS Fabrication and MEMS Systems Evaluation. We stress the need for systems theory, in addition to basic fundamentals coverage and fabrication emphasis. The developed courses ensure the overall educational, professional and curriculum objectives.
