Hence, the emphasis on materials,both organic and inorganic, is of utmost importance here. While the College of Agriculture today has aDepartment of Agricultural Engineering, our Faculty of Engineering also has a newly created Departmentof Engineering Sciences and Materials.

The pioneers at Flindersraised a valuable concern “The field (nanotechnology) is currently in its infancy and is incrediblybroad, spanning chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and engineering. This is in fact probablyan incomplete list but it makes the point. How do you possibly teach all these areas to students in afour year honors degree?“2. Alternatively, other investigators proposed, utilizing lower divisioncourses as a departure course to familiarize undergraduate students with concepts ofnanotechnology3.

Thanks to modern mathematical computing systems, it is nowpossible to replace the typical “chalkboard” lecture with closely supervised interactive,“hands-on” sessions in a computer equipped classroom.
