Nano Minor Declaration/Advising Form

The Maryland NanoCenter has initiated an innovative undergraduate program, the Interdisciplinary Minor Program in Nanoscale Science and Technology, drawing faculty and courses from multiple departments of the A. James Clark School of Engineering, the College of Computer, Math, and Physical Sciences, and the College of Chemical and Life Sciences. The program is open to any student majoring in Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry.

Completion of the program instills in students the broad perspective needed for nano, including understanding and experience in fabrication/synthesis of nanomaterials and structures, their characterization/measurement, the fundamental science underlying them, and their applications.

This course is intended to put into perspective the roles of various engineering and science disciplines in nano, so that students interested in the field can decide which major will best suit their interests. It also provides a basis for students to decide if they want to pursue the Interdisciplinary Minor in Nanoscale Science and Technology.

Nano courses

Nano topics have increasingly dominated engineering and science courses at Maryland, often in the guise of topics for major class projects as well as instructional examples. To get a taste of nano related courses visit the Nano Minor courses page.
