NanoEngineering Program Mission & Objectives

The NanoEngineering Program (B.S.) is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria with no applicable program criteria.

The NanoEngineering (NANO) Program is based on a comprehensive curriculum with the essential elements for a strong engineering background. The mission of the NANO Program is to provide a multidisciplinary education in nanoscale science and technology. The Program's Educational Objectives are:

  • NanoEngineering graduates will have a strong technical background, enabling them to be successful in careers that cross traditional areas of applied science and engineering
  • NanoEngineering graduates will be fluent in a multidisciplinary body of knowledge for participating in and seeding new technologies.
  • NanoEngineering graduates will constitute a high-technology workforce with professional, scientific, and technical skills.
  • NanoEngineering graduates will conduct themselves ethically and knowledgeably in a wide range of professional environments.

The NANO Program's Educational Objectives can be found on the NanoEngineering Department's UC San Diego-hosted website which is accessible to the public at:
