The NanoEngineering Program 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:
