About this Unit
This unit provides a broad introduction to nanoscience, the current status of nanotechnology and their applications. It introduces main areas that are central to understanding the importance of nanoscale applications and to study the connection between the underlying nanoscience of various nanotechnology devices. Emphasis will be placed to reflect the true interdisciplinary nature that encompasses a broad understanding of basic sciences intertwined with engineering sciences and information sciences pertinent to nanotechnology. Because the technology is advancing so fast, activities that encourage creative and critical thinking and life-long learning will be achieved by various small group projects.
