ME8255

This course covers a broad range of subjects introducing students to the science and technology of nanoscale materials. This includes from fundamental principles, to synthesizing and characterizing nanomaterials, to incorporating them into advanced manufacturing processes and hybrid nano-bio systems. Indeed, establishing a critical scientific understanding of properties at the nanoscale will ultimately enable a variety of next-generation devices. The focus of this course thus is on the fundamental techniques necessary for investigations at small dimensions, and the very latest research developments in this rapidly evolving field.
