05050 ENGR ENMA Add Minor in Nanoscience and Technology

Those interested in material synthesis will see how the fundamental chemistry and
physics help them understand materials chemistry by taking
“Particle Science and Technology” ENCH471
(no prerequisites, CHEM 113 or CHEM 135 and fluid mechanics, and
thermodynamics strongly recommended).
“Solid State Physics” PHYS431/ENMA460
(Physics majors will generally satisfy prerequisites for this course)
and
“Physical Chemistry II” CHEM482,
(prerequisites: a grade of C or better in CHEM113, CHEM135, or
CHEM153 – this would be an added requirement which would not be
credited directly toward the minor; and MATH141 and PHYS142 which
a Physics student will have taken,; a C or better in CHEM 481 (PCHEM
I), which might be waived if the student has taken thermodynamics).
Those with an interest in thermodynamics at the mesoscale will likely take:
“Mesoscopic and Nanoscale Thermodynamics“ ENCH 468Q
(prerequisites: a course on thermodynamics, which Physics students will
have taken)
The ”Undergraduate Research” course XXXX499 in departments within or
outside of physics is likely to be of interest to physics students interested in
graduate work in NS&T, and will serve to round out a curriculum which stresses
mainly fundamental science.
There are variations possible on the above; Physics students interested in
electronic devices might take:
PHYS 401 Quantum Physics I
PHYS431 Solid State Physics
ENMA489T Nanocharacterization
ENEE416 IC Fabrication
ENMA481 Electronic Materials
Students interested in nanoparticles might take:
PHYS 401 Quantum Physics I
PHYS431 Solid State Physics
ENCH471 Particle Science and Technology
ENMA489T Nanocharacterization or CHEM425 Instrumental
analysis
CHEM481 Physical Chemistry or ENCH 468Q Mesoscopic and
Nanoscale Thermodynamics
