CANADA, Toronto, Bachelor of Applied Science - Nanoengineering Undergraduate Program

• Request Information

The world has embraced three enabling technologies: information technology, biotechnology and advanced materials; these are responsible for the fastest growing segments of the new economy. In all cases, nanoengineering underpins future advances in these technologies. Some examples are: replacement technologies for conventional electronics and photonics, novel battery technology, advanced structural materials and bioengineered systems.

The primary objective of the new Nanoengineering Option is to offer an undergraduate program blending all three enabling technologies into one education, it is the first undergraduate program of its kind in the world. The Nanoengineering Option will be delivered by a group of professors who are among the most talented in this field in Canada. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is made possible by collaboration between the Faculties of Applied Science and Engineering, Arts and Science, and Medicine. The curriculum draws on a combination of multidisciplinary courses that allows student to transcend traditional boundaries between physics, chemistry and biology.

3rd and 4th Year Curriculum:

• Structure and Characterization of Nanostructured Materials
• Synthesis of Nanostructured Materials
• Micro Electro Mechanical Systems and Nano Electro-Opto Mechanical Systems
• Materials Chemistry
• Quantum Structures
• Solid State Chemistry
• Optical Engineering
• Physical and Inorganic Chemistry
• Physical Electronics
• Signal Analysis and Communication
• Quantum Mechanics
• Atoms, Molecules and Solids
• Advanced Physical Properties of Structural Nanomaterials

Opportunities After Graduation:

Although Nanoengineering and Nanotechnology are relatively new disciplines there are a wealth of industries that have benefited from the type of expertise developed in a nanoengineering degree program. It should be noted that the nanoscientists/engineers of today can also be described as materials scientists/engineers, materials chemists, bioengineers, and microelectronics engineers, to name a few. Accordingly, the many industrial sectors that rely on these disciplines will also seek out nanoengineers. Companies are learning that major advances in future technologies lies at the interface between the more traditional disciplines based on physics, chemistry or biology. Graduate degree opportunities are possible in every science and engineering department. Career paths are many and varied including aerospace and automotive engineering, computer hardware design, microelectronics assembly and packaging, chemical synthesis, materials processing, drug design and delivery, biomedical engineering and computational materials modelling.
