to be an ABETaccreditable engineering degree with the goal of providing our graduates the knowledge andskills to interface development in nanotechnology with various engineering disciplines in orderto produce useful technology for society. The curriculum currently is a 128 semester credit hourprogram like all of the other engineering degree programs at Louisiana Tech University.Recognizing that nanotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary field, our approach was to buildoff existing engineering curricula within our college and incorporate additional courses to covertopics that are more specialized to the field. It was decided that the undergraduate degree wouldneed a progression of “nanosystems engineering” courses, which would provide
