CI-187 Think Small: Change the World
Nanoscience is becoming the dominant direction for technology in this century and is opening new perspectives on all scientific and technological disciplines. This course is an attempt to introduce the central tenets of nanoscience at an early stage in the curriculum by involving students in designing nanostructures (and nanomachines) with innovative applications in mind, using in-house computational and experimental tools. The design elements, and intuition, that is used by engineers and architects for designing things at the macro-scale does not apply to nanoscale phenomena, necessitating creativity in design. This exercise in student creativity will be guided by instruction of the rules of nanodesign that the instructor has formulated through his own experience in the field.
