Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

The CMSC is a multidisciplinary facility that is focused on research on composite materials, processing and design as well as transfer of composites technology to industry.

The minor in Nanoscale Science and Engineering (Nanotechnology) is deliberately designed to introduce students to the basic issues and overall scope of this field, encourage students to pursue interdisciplinary coursework outside their major, develop an understanding of the importance of flexibility in terms of careers, research, and education, and be flexible to allow for participation by students in diverse majors.

Michigan Technological University's Nanoscale Science and Engineering minor introduces students from any major to the fundamentals of nanotechnology through a multidisciplinary curriculum spanning physics, chemistry, biology, instrumentation, and applications. Flexible electives let students broaden their exposure or deepen specific interests, while coursework also addresses the societal implications of emerging technologies. The minor strengthens qualifications for research, development, and manufacturing careers across public and private sectors.
