“…Nanotechnology as a research area dedicated to solving emerging problems in engineering, science and technology represented in a wide spectrum of areas such as food, housing, transportation, health, water, clean energy, green manufacturing, among others, is currently facing a great challenge: the education and training of a new generation of engineers, scientists, and skilled workers [28]. The lack of consensus on a nanotechnology definition has also impacted the educational communities, giving rise to diverse approaches because of different perspectives on what should be covered in the educational programs [28].…”

This work is focused on reviewing the theoretical vision of the physicist Richard Feynman about nanoscience and nanotechnology, giving continuity to his ideas in the proper context of physics laws that has led nanoscience and nanotechnology to become robust and active sciences. Some implications of nanotechnology as a general-purpose foundational technology for all economic areas are discussed. Some aspects related to interactions between the fields of mathematics, high-energy physics and condensed matter physics that have allowed the remarkable development of new quantum material platforms for nanoelectronics are also analyzed.

“…College undergraduate students are generally exposed to the disciplines of microelectronics and nanotechnology [1][2][3] only if they major in electrical and computer engineering (ECE) or associated majors, often only in advanced ECE classes (typically senior year), and in many cases perhaps not until graduate school. Counter examples to this classical model do exist [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] , but they are recent and clearly in the overwhelming minority. In addition, such micro/nanotechnology courses remain largely for specialists with a well-defined skill set coming into the class (e.g., advanced undergraduate engineering or science students).…”

A new undergraduate course in microelectronics and nanotechnology is described. Importantly, this course does not assume any electrical and computer engineering background or substantive college prerequisites , and is designed to be accessible for all undergraduate majors at all educational levels. The course focuses on developing the general scientific and engineering underpinnings of microelectronics and nanotechnology, but importantly, also examines how this new technological revolution is influencing a broad array of diverse fields and civilization as a whole.

This paper discusses the use of a systems theory, design coverage and control topics in nanotechnology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) courses developed and offered in the College of Engineering in RIT. The multidisciplinary nano and microengineering have accomplished a phenomenal growth over the last twenty years due to the rapid advances in microelectronics, molecular technologies, bulk and surface micromachining, computer-aided-design (CAD), etc. Recent fundamental and applied research and developments in molecular electronics and informatics have been notably contributed to the current progress. Enabling nano/micro engineering utilizes and depends on the fundamentals, software and hardware. These prominent developments largely depend on modern engineering and science providing the end-users with the needed technologies and design concurrency. With the increasing demands in high-performance envisioned nanosystems and emerged microsystems, designers apply new concepts. The role of nanotechnology and MEMS courses in the engineering curriculum is examined. We discuss the integration of design, optimization, control and analysis topics in Nano Science, Engineering and Technology (NanoSET) and MEMS courses. The MEMS curriculum consists of three courses, e.g., MEMS Design, MEMS Fabrication and MEMS Systems Evaluation. We stress the need for systems theory, in addition to basic fundamentals coverage and fabrication emphasis. The developed courses ensure the overall educational, professional and curriculum objectives.
