Goals 1. To enable the students understand the basic concepts of nanotechnology 2. To enhance the knowledge of students in nanomaterials 3. To familiarize the students with the properties of nanomaterials and their applications 4. To expose the students nanostructured devices and their applications
Course Content Nano and micro electromechanical machines (NEM and MEM) are manufactured in the billions annually for sensing, ink jet printing, automotive applications, communications, and medicine. In medicine, bio MEMS promise to revolutionize biotechnology and biomedical engineering through fabrication of devices under 100 micrometers using novel micro and nano-fabrication techniques. Nanofabrication is the group of techniques that allows scientists and engineers to build structures and devices at the atomic scale. Traditional top-down nanofabrication consists of carving nano scale materials from a bulk structure through chemical means or by using beams of electrons or ions to strip away layers of material. Bottom-up methods create structures by adding atomic layers one at a time by deposition or by molecular or nanoparticle self-assembly.
Learning Outcomes 1) Student will be able to use nanomaterials for various industrial applications
2) Student will be able to design MEMS / NEMS devices for various applications
3) The student will have detailed information about nanotechnology and nanomaterials.
