Syllabus

 

Course Description and Requirements

 

-  NME 221 – This seminar will offer students an introduction to nanoscale science and molecular engineering, familiarize them with research and educational opportunities in nanotechnology on campus, and provide an initial intellectual forum where they can share their interests in NME. NME 221 students are required in addition to attending the seminars to visit a research laboratory and compose a report on the research (or an aspect of it) conducted in the visited lab.

-  NME 321 – Having already obtained an appreciation for Nanoscience and Molecular Engineering, and getting started in conducting research themselves, students will learn on how to plan and tackle research challenges by example (i.e. seminars), put their work into the framework of others, and to present and interpret data. NME 321 students are required in addition to attending the seminars to compose essays on contemporary societal and ethical issues.

-  NME 421 – Students will present orally an aspect of their research experience, emphasizing research objectives and motivation, and address the research hypothesis and how it was tested. Findings shall be discussed within the framework of the open literature.

 

Course Credit

 

Course credit will be based on reasonable attendance (a minimum of 8 out of 10), plus for
