Addendum: Additional Benefits to a NS&T Minor and Faculty Resources Additional Benefits of an Interdisciplinary NS&T Undergraduate Minor Program As described above the driving force for establishing an interdisciplinary NS&T minor is to prepare participating University of Maryland students for a career Nanoscience and Engineering. There are additional benefits to an interdisciplinary NS&T minor would include: (1) such a program would place the UM in a more competitive posture for major grant programs, many of which have a significant educational component. (2) Instructional programs in NS&T will give the UM enhanced visibility in an extremely important field. (3) The programs would promote synergy between faculty and students with similar research interests. (4) A visible NS&T instructional program, with a well designed and up to date webpage would greatly increase the University of Maryland’s ability to attract both high quality students and high profile faculty. Resources: Existing Expertise among Faculty Existing expertise in nanoscience and technology (NST) is spread out among five departments within three schools at the University of Maryland. These include the departments of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Electrical and Computer Engineering within the Clark School of Engineering, the Department of Physics within the School of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry within the School of Life Sciences. A partial listing of faculty conducting NS&T research is given in table I. The list of research includes approaches toward fabrication, characterization and modeling the properties of nanoscale structures, and is indicative of the range of courses which might be offered. The breadth of NS&T research at the University will continue to increase in the near future, as a number of departments are presently involved in searches for new faculty within this field.
