Engineering Technology - Nanofabrication
If you're fascinated by science and technology on an atomic level but you also like working with your hands, check out our associate's degree in Engineering Technology–Nanofabrication. After graduating, you can work alongside engineers and technologists in the field of nanofabrication and design and manufacture tiny, nanometer-sized devices.
Through our partnership with Penn State University your final semester of classes on nanofabrication will be taught at the Penn State Center for Nanofabrication Education and Utilization.
Program outcomes
- Analyze a student-created engineering model using appropriate general calculations;
- Design, model and develop concepts in a 3D solids modeling environment to address the industrial demands of today's technology;
- Identify and describe the latest manufacturing technologies and processes encountered in the field of nanometer-level manufacturing;
- Identify and describe component and system-level problems in engineering using state-of-the-art testing equipment;
- Design and present a final project using all of the above engineering skills including good oral communication and technical writing ability.
