ENGR 350 - Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Institution:

University of Michigan-Dearborn

Subject:

Engineering Core

Description:

The terms "nanoscience" and "nanotechnology" have come to mean many different scientific and technical disciplines. The course will introduce students to the fundamentals of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Interesting phenomena about individual nanometer scale objects will be discussed. The difference in properties of objects of nanometer scale, containing hundreds or thousands of atoms and those exhibited by individual atoms or molecules or the properties of materials at the macroscale with which we are most familiar will be covered. The analytical techniques that are used to characterize these objects will be discussed. The manufacturing techniques used to make these objects along with their applications will be covered. Cost benefit analysis of nanotechnology and its future will be discussed. (YR)
