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

Resulting from the demands made from students, employers, and therapid advancement of technology has been a tendency to develop more specialized curricula thatcontain fewer common courses among the engineering disciplines.

anexposure to the complexities and workings of technology. The majority of liberal arts students receive noeducation in technology despite fulfillment of college graduation requirements which include science courses. One of the causes for this lack of exposure can by identified by noticing that the current route tounderstanding technology requires liberal arts students to minor or double major in a science such as physics ora branch of engineering. Introductory courses in the sciences generally do not focus on technologicalapplications. A need exists for a one semester course through which liberal arts students might gain anunderstanding of technology sufficient for their future life experience and careers.
