Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS NANO?
Our nano-engineering program is a truly multidisciplinary scheme, in which students learn how to understand and engineer functional systems at the atomic scale. At this sub-microscopic level, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials are quite distinct from those of larger-scale bulk matter. Uncovering these unique characteristics spurs the development of novel applications and groundbreaking research that is already making nanotechnology the next industrial revolution.
WHY NANO?
Following this trend, the nano-engineering program aims to produce undergraduate students with a strong background in chemical, electrical, and materials engineering. Medicine, plastic, material research, and high-performance electronics are just some of the many areas whose development in the nanoscale becomes a major force for technological improvement. Upon completion of their degree, our students form a unique and important human resource pool.
