- Description
- Program Description The consolidated Micro-/Nanotechnology Academic Certificate Program is a two-year certification program comprised of coursework that provides students with industry-based skill sets related to chemical synthesis, chemical analysis, basic micro-/nanofabrication procedures, and nanocharacterization. This program will provide students with skills in basic optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopy techniques. Electron and scanning probe microscopes are powerful tools designed to generate topographical images and data on a wide variety of micro -and nanoscale materials. These microscopes are used in a multitude of academic and industrial endeavors across many scientific disciplines. Additionally, students will acquire skill sets associated with basic micro- and nanofabrication procedures. This program will expose students to equipment and techniques common place in micro- and nanofabrication laboratories including wet chemical synthesis, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), template-assisted electrodeposition, and photolithograpy. Students who complete the program will be proficient in the basic use of optical microscopes, scanning probe microscopes, electron microscopes (SEM and TEM), chemical characterization (EDS), image processing, and interpretation of microscopy data. Students will acquire an understanding of the operational fundamentals of micro-/nanofabrication synthesis and instrumentation methods, in addition to experience utilizing the equipment and processes. The program includes a diverse elective list that allows students to pursing additional instruction in engineering, chemistry, or the natural sciences. This program complies with ASTM Nanotechnology Workforce Education Standard E3001-15 (characterization). Due to ASTM compliance, students can pursue ASTM certifications in the above categories by completing the appropriate exam. Successful completion of ASTM exams will demonstrate proficiency in the regulatory nanotechnology-based requirements that comply with industry standards. This is a two-year certification program comprised of coursework with a substantial hands-on component. This certificate is meant to be a stackable credential, meaning students can use the knowledge and technical skills acquired to enhance their chosen field of study or employment.
