Introduction to Nanotechnology

56-1690

Nanotechnology is a field of applied science where matter is controlled on an atomic and molecular scale. In this multidisciplinary course, we will examine the basic science behind nanotechnology and how it has infused itself into areas of food safety, agriculture, homeland security, medicine and healthcare, the environment, energy supply and consumer goods. Discussion of the possible risks of nanotechnology will also occur. An extensive series of hands-on laboratory activities is a central part of the course.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
