NANO 1110 - Nanoscience Fundamentals I

Institution:

Roane State Community College

Subject:

Nanotechnology

Description:

This course is an introduction to nanoscience. It includes the history and significance of nanoscience and nanotechnology and an introduction of the knowledge, skills, and tools needed in the nanoscale world. This course teaches a sense of scale and the need for exponential notation. It also includes the importance of understanding molecular and atomic structure, the effects of surface area to volume ratio, and the predominant forces of the macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale world. These concepts are fundamental to learning how nanoscale interactions and phenomena differ from those in our commom macroscale world. The course also includes specific study of the application of nanotechnology to biological areas such as the study of proteins, drug interactions, cell operation and ion channels and of sensing systems and newly developed diagnostic tools that are a result of understanding the biological system at the nanoscale. Finally, the course also includes the impact of nanoscience and nanotechnology on society and the environment and a technology maturity model for projecting the expected future impact.
