MS in Nanoengineering
The Master of Science in Nanoengineering degree program is a research Master’s degree featuring coursework involving engineering at the nanoscale. It’s designed for students with a strong background in engineering who seek additional specialized training in order to find industrial or government positions in fields that utilize nanotechnology.
Program Details
The Master of Science in Nanoengineering Program is open to students with a Bachelor’s Degree in engineering, applied science or in a closely related field from recognized institutions. The course of study is comprised of 12 hours of core courses that will introduce students to fundamental concepts, methods, and discoveries in different areas of Nanoengineering, 12 credit hours of foundation courses which build on the undergraduate engineering degree ensuring appropriate depth of knowledge in the student’s discipline.
Appropriate courses will be selected with a student’s program adviser. These graduate-level courses will come from offerings at both North Carolina A&T State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In addition, students will complete 6 credit hours of thesis or 3 credit hours of project work (in case of project option, students will be required to take 30 credit hours of coursework: 12 credit hours of core courses, and 18 credit hours of disciplinary foundation courses).
