Author_Institution :
Dept. of Phys., Portland State Univ., Portland, OR, USA
Abstract :
A graduate/undergraduate course that gives an introduction to the science and engineering of materials at the nanometer length scale is briefly described. The course is an elective within an Applied Physics PhD program at Portland State University. Definitions for nanoscience and engineering are quoted and contrasted with popular conceptualizations of nanotechnology.
