Nanotechnology
The emerging field of nanotechnology, which involves studying and manipulating matter on an ultra-small scale (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter), is expected to have far-reaching consequences in engineering applications as diverse as sustainable energy and next-generation microprocessors and flash memories.
A minor in nanotechnology requires the completion of at least 15 credits as follows:
Group I
Required courses (9 credits): ECE 4211; ECE/ENGR 4243 and ECE/ENGR 4244.
Group II
Two courses from the following list (at least 6 credits): ENGR 2243; ECE 3223, 3243, 4223, 4225, 4242, 4095 (or any engineering special topics course if related to nanoscience/technology); ECE 4079 or any engineering independent design laboratory course (if related to nanoscience/technology); ECE 4099 or any engineering independent studies course (if related to nanoscience/technology); the two-course sequence ECE 4901 and 4902 (if the project is related to nanoscience/technology).
The minor is offered by the School of Engineering. For information about the Nanotechnology minor, contact John Chandy.
