Conclusions
Nanoscience is the study of matter in the nanometer range.
Nanotechnology comprises the set of techniques developed for the study, manipulation and control of matter in the same range with applications in the real world.
Introduction
Position of nanoscience and nanotechnology topics over a base map of science. Each node is one of 175 subject categories in the SCI database, and the size of the node is proportional to the number of papers published in each. http://gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/mapping-nanotechnology/
Nano-related research has strong multidisciplinary roots
Introduction
The challenge
Engineering education
Complementing the engineering formal education in the field of advanced materials and nanotechnology, from a practical and applied point of view.
Selecting and applying the scientific knowledge in order to find solution for technological problems.
Understanding the scientific ‘nano-language’ to enhance the communication between researchers, engineers and society, i.e. to be the link between science and solutions in this field of fast development.
Getting constantly updated, with regards to new trends in advanced materials.
Learning about intellectual property, form scientific publications to patents and technology transfer.
Objectives of the course
EngineeringScientific basic
knowledgeApplications
Complete basic university education in mathematics (calculus, arithmetic and analytical geometry), physics, chemistry,
thermodynamic and statistics.
Careers such as materials, nuclear or chemical engineering. But also mechanical, electrical, biological and civil engineering can be enriched
by the course.

The course must be in line with the curricular design, norms and rules of the university career where it will be incorporated.
Lectures, by experts in the field.
Experimental sessions where the student will be able to see, apply and get familiar with advanced technology available in material science centers and laboratories, as well as high-tech industries.
Testimonies of professionals who are active in the field
Methodology: didactical strategies and resources
The list of didactical materials includes: A selection of text books and a specially edited syllabus
Complementary texts.
Access to international publications and patents
Guides for experimental sessions
Authorized simulation software
Laboratory facilities
Online-conference facilities, in order to enrich lectures and laboratory
tutorials with the expertise of professionals, who are geographically
distant from the course location.
PC, projector, blackboard/whiteboard.
Methodology: didactical strategies and resources
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are emerging disciplines of science and technology that integrate a broad range of topics.
New engeneering challenges Alternative tool to provide solutions
Disciplines usually not included in formal engineering education (undergradue level)
Curriculum proposal advocated to complement formal education of engineering careers in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

State of the art
The first nanoengineering program in the world was started at the University of Toronto
within the Engineering Science program as one of the Options of study in the final years.
In 2003, the Lund Institute of Technology started a program in Nanoengineering. In 2004,
the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering(CNSE) was established on the campus
of the University at Albany. In 2005, the University of Waterloo established a unique
program which offers a full degree in Nanotechnology Engineering. Louisiana Tech
University started the first program in the U.S. in 2005. In 2006 the University of Duisburg-
Essen started a Bachelor and a Master program NanoEngineering. The University of
California, San Diego followed shortly thereafter in 2007 with its own department of
Nanoengineering. In 2009, the University of Toronto began offering all Options of study in
Engineering Science as degrees, bringing the second nanoengineering degree to Canada.
DTU Nanotech - the Department of Micro- and Nanotechnology - is a department at the
Technical University of Denmark established in 1990.
