| A three-credit graduate-level course in nanomanufacturing, offered simultaneously at the three universities and co-taught face-to-face by faculty from NEU, UML, and UNH, was offered at during spring 2005. The six three-hour sessions offered biweekly and a bus and lunch were offered as an inducement for students to take the 1.5-hour ride to the sister institutions.
Issues associated with high rate template-based nanomanufacturing, included technologies for nanoscale templates, high rate assembly of nanoelements and polymer systems, registration at the nanoscale, interfacing with biological systems, measurement of nanoelements, and molecular modeling were addressed in this seminar. Environmental, regulatory, and ethical issues associated with new technologies are also examined. The course presented not only the detailed information required for this subject, but also the basics needed for the cross-disciplinary student body.
