Engineering Fundamentals [18 Units Specified]
The following fundamentals courses are required: Materials Science and Engineering Core [26 Units Specified]
The MSE core consists of courses designed to give all students a common foundation of core knowledge and skills specific to the discipline: Additional Degree Requirements [9 Units Specified]
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.
Core Courses
Complete the following three courses in addition to the MSE core courses:
Elective Courses
Complete one of the following elective courses: Nanotechnology Emphasis Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion (as assessed through homework assignments, lab reports, quizzes and examinations), graduates will be able to:
- demonstrate fundamental understanding of nanomaterials, nanoscale devices and systems, and instrumentation for nanotechnology;
- demonstrate the basic hands-on ability to make nanomaterials such as nanoparticles and 1D nanostructures;
- demonstrate knowledge of how to characterize nanomaterials;
- demonstrate the ability to apply basic knowledge from different fields in the context of nanotechnology;
- view nanotechnology from inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives.
Additional Degree Recommendations
Three units of Service Learning (upper division or lower division) can be used to meet a lower division General Education requirement. |
