Why small is beautiful in Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science

Nanoscale technology exploits unique effects that emerge as materials and devices shrink. EECS lays the foundation 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.

The EECS Department has been researching and teaching nanotechnology for decades, since well before the field attracted its recent attention. But the curriculum is complex. This website will help to clarify for students in EECS what his or her "nanoEECS" options are: it should be the first stop in finding courses and research in nanoEECS.
