Nanotechnology Degree Programs in Pennsylvania

Nanofabrication manufacturing technology relates to the creation of microscopic structures. This technology is the basis of such diverse areas as computer chip manufacturing, flat panel displays and large scale solar power arrays used in space exploration, biological implants, medicine and pharmaceuticals. Rapid growth in these industries has created a strong demand for technicians with training in the intricacies of nanofabrication techniques and clean room procedures. Students enrolling in either program will spend three semesters on BCCC campus and the final capstone semester on Penn State campus.

Nanotechnology Minor program at Clarion University's Physics Department.

Drexel's MS in Materials Science and Engineering offers flexible study in nanostructured materials, biomaterials, composite materials, functional materials, materials processing and synthesis, electronic materials, materials for energy applications, polymers and structural materials, while building advanced skills in materials selection, design, processing, testing and research.

The Nanotechnology minor is designed to help prepare students from diverse disciplines for careers in a broad range of industries innovating with nanotechnology. The minor builds on the singular strengths of Penn State's nanofabrication facilities including its class 1 and class 10 clean rooms, its faculty, and existing academic programs. The minor provides students with fundamental knowledge and skills in simulation, design, modeling, syntheses, characterization, properties, processing, manufacturing, and applications at the nano scale.
