Who Should Attend
Professionals in many corporations are often asked by
their managers: what can Nanotechnology do for our
companies’ products? This introductory overview course
is designed to enable professionals and managers to
comprehend nanoscale science and technology. The
objective is to provide the necessary background in this
developing interdisciplinary field so they can be utilized by:-
Scientists
- Engineers
- Professional Managers
This includes a variety of industries such as chemical, energy,
environmental, electronic, consumer products,
cosmetics, medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
Description
These days it is irresistible for anyone not to relate any
particular area of science and technology to
Nanotechnology, which refers to materials and structures
at the nanoscale, i.e. < 100 nm (one-ten thousands of a
millimeter). 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 race has begun to
harness these beneficial properties in useful applications.
Accordingly, the initial part of the course covers the
science and technology at the nanoscale. This is followed
by an overview of investment being made in this
burgeoning field by both the private and public sectors
across the globe. A substantial amount of time will be
devoted to technologies being developed and practiced
for producing nanostructured materials and devices. Four
modules are devoted to different industrial sectors
including chemicals and cosmetics, energy, electronics
and biotechnology/pharmaceutical. The concluding
session of the course will discuss the economics of
nanotechnology, how the industry is getting organized, and
who the major players are.
