Course Title:
Nanotechnology in Engineering
Course Description:
Explores a wide range of new technologies based on, or influenced by, breakthroughs in nanoscience. Such nanotechnologies include, but are not limited to, spintronics, quantum computing, carbon nanotube electronics, nanoparticle cancer remediation strategies, biomolecular electronics, and nanomachines. Nanotechnology is the refinement of functional properties of materials, devices, or systems that are in at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm. In recent years, nanotechnology has revolutionized how we think of science and its impact on society. This course seeks to engineer new or enhanced macroscopic properties from nanostructure or nanoscale materials and components. Uses review of the scientific literature, classroom lecture, seminars by international leaders of nanotechnology, and student team projects to afford the student the opportunity to become well versed in this important burgeoning field of nanotechnology.
