Nanoscale technology exploits effects that emerge as materials and devices shrink. EECS lays the foundations for this field, starting with introductory courses, where the concept of a "bit" (the smallest unit of information) and the utility of a transistor (the elemental nano-electronic device) are explained, and expands from there.
EECS has been researching and teaching nanotechnology for decades, starting well before the field attracted its recent attention, with a rich and complex curriculum. This website clarifies the nanoEECS options for students; it should be the first stop in finding courses and research in nanoEECS. |
