Why NanoEngineering? About the program Nano-Process-Technology Nanotechnology in general is the science of The interdisciplinary Master’s program in The profile Nano-Process-Technology prepares realization and use of structures with at least one NanoEngineering addresses motivated students the students to meet challenges in nanoparticle dimension smaller than 100 nm. Such structures with a good first degree in electrical or mechanical and nanostructure production and process enable new and advanced material and device engineering, physics or chemistry, with an techno-logy. Main courses in the curriculum are properties. In order to become a key technology emphasis on material sciences or nanotechnology. fluid dynamics, process automation, nanoparticle of the present century, nanoscience and nano- The program has a modular structure and will last formation, aerosol technology and nano technology have to advance fundamental 2 years or 4 semesters, respectively.
