Courses listed in this section are preceded by the college’s letter "C". The following undergraduate courses offered by the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering are considered liberal arts and science courses for purposes of degree requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degrees: C Nse 397.

The interdisciplinary curricula offered at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering integrate the fundamental principles of physics, chemistry, computer science, biology, mathematics, and engineering with the cross cutting fields of nanosciences, nanoengineering, nanobiosciences, and nanoeconomics. Both the Ph.D. and M.S. curricula place significant emphasis on nanoscale science and engineering know-how and are organized into four constellations of scholarly excellence in research and education. Conceived as catalysts that encourage and stimulate cross-disciplinary educational and research initiatives, these “think tanks” are:

Nanoscience: The observation, identification, description, discovery, experimental investigation, and theoretical interpretation of nanoscale phenomena.

Nanoengineering: The application of nanoscience principles to practical applications, such as the atomic scale design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and functional structures, machines, processes, and systems.

Nanoeconomics: The formulation, study, and analysis of the economic and business principles underlying the development and deployment of nanoscale know-how, products, and systems.

Nanobiosciences: The application of nanoscale scientific concepts and principles to the study of biological, biomedical, and medical procedures, practices, structures, systems, and organisms.

Junior and senior level undergraduate students are eligible to register for select graduate courses with undergraduate adviser approval and permission of the CNSE instructor. Undergraduate students in appropriate majors may also register for C Nse 397: Independent Study and Research with CNSE approval. Any undergraduate student interested in registering for CNSE courses should contact the CNSE Office of Student Services at 518-437-8686.
