Improving the Nanotechnology Education for Future Engineers

Nanotechnology education offered by many universities in the USA involves interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary education with courses in nanotechnology, engineering, chemistry, physics, mathematics and biology.The challenge of nanotechnology education is to provide advanced technologies to the students in a wide verity of fields.In the present communication, we will be dealing with the fabrication and characterizations of nanomaterials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanofilms, nanocomposites and micro -nanoscale devices) and devices for undergraduate and graduate students in order to improve the hands-on laboratory experiences.It is assumed that this nanotechnology would be one of the targeted areas for science and engineering in the near future, so the action should be taken on nanotechnology education as early as possible.
