Multidisciplinary
courses on Nano and Micro Systems for Biomedical applications
The
faculty members in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering department and
collage of engineering are currently designing a new interdisciplinary program
at the interface of micro-, bio-, nano-, and information technologies. An essential part of our interdisciplinary
program is to reorganize existing nano/micro technology courses and to
develop new courses to provide a comprehensive training to the students in
these highly interdisciplinary areas.
Currently, our new program consists of 5 core courses covering
fundamental science, fabrication, device designs, and applications of micro
and nano technology and is expected to further expand in the near future
(please see department website for details).

Education
|
|
To introduce the general public about the development
of bio-nano-technologies, SBL will develop and maintain a web-based
tutorial and exhibits. Also a
download area is also available for downloading SBL materials for education
and classroom teaching purpose.
