2024-2025 Catalog
Chemical Engineering, Nanotechnology Emphasis, B.S.
|
|
In addition to adhering to General Education , students must meet the following requirements to receive the B.S. in Chemical Engineering at UC Merced.
All students in the School of Engineering, regardless of major, are required to complete all requirements for all majors with a C- or better unless the course is offered as Pass/No Pass only, which requires a P grade.
Students in the School of Engineering must repeat a required course after receiving a grade of D+, D, D-, F, Unsatisfactory, or Not Passed, and may do so no more than twice beyond the initial enrollment in the class. Students may repeat a course only one time (for a total of two attempts to earn a C- or better). If students do not complete these requirements, they may take these courses at another institution or petition the school who hosts the course for a third attempt. The third attempt is not guaranteed at UC Merced.

Nanotechnology Emphasis
Nanotechnology is shaping – and will continue to shape – the needs of future workforces. To prepare our graduates for current and future industrial needs, it is pertinent to have an education program that clearly shows students how nanotechnology connects and interacts with each traditional field. Also, aspects of nanotechnology that are not covered by traditional disciplines need to be taught. We therefore offer a Nanotechnology Emphasis that fills this educational gap and is complementary to our other programs. In addition to teaching nanoscale synthesis, characterization and fabrication, as well as simulation, other salient aspects of this Emphasis include:
- enabling students to learn the knowledge and skills that bridge basic research and applications-specific device development;
- enabling students to integrate knowledge from different fields, and thus to stay abreast of the exciting scientific breakthroughs and discoveries that are advancing the field of nanotechnology every day.
Nanotechnology Emphasis Core Requirement [11-12 units]
Complete the following courses in satisfaction of the CHE technical elective requirement:
Additional Program Learning Outcomes for the Nanotechnology Emphasis
Upon completion, graduates will be able to:
- demonstrate fundamental understanding of nanomaterials, nanoscale devices and systems, and instrumentation for nanotechnology;
- demonstrate the knowledge of how to make nanomaterials such as nanoparticles and 1D nanostructures;
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of their unique physical properties;
- demonstrate the ability to apply basic knowledge from different fields in the context of nanotechnology; and
- view nanotechnology from inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives.
