2-year Nanotech Program Gaining Momentum
Forsyth Tech's Associates Degree Program in Nanotechnology is the only one of its kind in the Southeastern U.S. and has been positively received by both students and employers. As Dr. Kevin Conley explains, “the legacy of Nanotechnology will be multidisciplinary. In our program, we use the tools of physics and the materials of chemistry to study biological systems. All the while we must keep product development, intellectual property, and regulatory issues in mind.” |

Learning With Nanotechnology Through Visualization
A collaborative effort to develop instructional materials for nanotechnology between Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) and SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) has helped integrate the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) into mainstream electrical engineering and other programs at both colleges. |
