The Center for Professional Advancement, An Online Training Format
June 17, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (EST–New York time)
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for business and technical managers who need to understand what Nanotechnology means and the potential implications of this nascent interdisciplinary field across a broad spectrum of industries. These industries include, but are not limited to, chemical, energy, environmental, electronic, consumer products, cosmetics, medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Description
The impact or more precisely, the potential impact of Nanotechnology across all disciplines has become the subject of study for the majority of academic and industrial researchers. This is because the fundamental behavior of materials changes when engineered at the nanoscale. The beneficial properties are being harnessed in useful applications. This online course will introduce you to nanoscale science.
The following are the topics that will be highlighted:- Scale of matter
- Properties of material at the Nanoscale, i.e. 1 x 10–9m
- How is material “manipulated” at the Nanoscale
- How can Nanotechnology be put to use in practical applications
- Landscape of industrial and academic R&D
- Nanotechnology implementation in the industry
