Course description |
This module will provide a broad introduction to nanotechnology. By considering the underpinning science and cases studies, insight will first be provided into why the nanoscale is so important and different from all other scales that have been considered by engineers to date. This is followed by consideration of nanotechnology from the perspectives of the main engineering activities of design, manufacture and testing. |
