Of particular interest are two new NSF-funded interdisciplinary courses in Nanoscale Science and Technology, intended for Engineering, Physics, and Chemistry undergraduate students:

Winter Lecture: ENFD 278 Introduction to Nanoscale Science & Technology

An introduction to nanoscience and nanotechnology for undergraduate engineering and science students: Nanoparticles, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, nanobioscience, and societal and ethical implications. (Winter Quarter: MWF 12 -1 pm) Prereq: Two quarters of university physics or chemistry, two quarters of calculus.

Spring Laboratory: ENFD 279 Experimental Nanoscale Science & Technology

A laboratory experience for engineering and science students, covering the synthesis and characterization of nanostructures and the simple devices that can be made from them: carbon nanotube synthesis, nanotube sensor fabrication and characterization, quantum dot characterization, and gold nanoparticle fabrication and characterization. (Spring Quarter: M 2 - 6 pm).
