Nanotechnology Engineering applies ideas from chemistry, quantum physics, biology, and electronics to build objects through manipulations at the atomic or molecular level. As nanotechnology engineers, students will build structures ranging from one to one hundred nanometers (billionths of a metre). They will use mathematics, science, and engineering to model, design, and make structures for sensors, electronics, biosystems, or advanced materials. After they graduate, students will be able to apply their knowledge to create advanced materials that can be used in new ways. For example, students could reduce the weight of materials to increase efficiency, find new ways to test for environmental pollutants, or work in the medical field using miniature devices that can act at the molecular level.
