Study Objective:

The aim is to prepare students for the gradual but stopless coming of nanotechnology and its related techniques in science, technology and practice. The aim of this course is to give students a concept of what it is and what constitutes nanotechnology, how to produce and how to measure it, and the knowledge when can be expected to use it in engineering practice.
