Nanoengineering

Nanoengineering is largely a synonym for nanotechnology, but emphasizes the engineering rather than the pure science aspects of the field.

In 2004, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany, SUNY was founded as the first of its kind in the United States.

In 2005, the University of Waterloo established a unique program which offers a full degree in Nanotechnology Engineering.

Rice University established in 2016 a Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering (MSNE).

Other goals are: 1) to teach emerging technologies at the undergraduate level, 2) to train a new adaptive workforce, and 3) to retrain working engineers and professionals.
