Description
Introduces the fundamentals of applied quantum mechanics, materials science and fabrication skills needed to design, engineer and build emerging nanotechnologies with diverse applications in energy, computing, display and sensing.
In this class, studies are motivated by the technology, its application and desired performance, then the full progression from the fundamentals to the implemented device and functional systems will be outlined. By completing open-ended, goal-driven laboratory modules, students will gain hands-on design experience with this interplay between science and engineering, and use their skills towards developing and implementing their own technologies through a final project.
