Nanotechnology Engineering

Nanotechnology Engineering is the study and manipulation of materials at the atomic and molecular scale — typically at dimensions less than 100 nanometres. It combines physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to design tiny structures, materials, and devices with novel properties. Applications span electronics, medicine, energy, materials science, and environmental systems. It’s a highly interdisciplinary and emerging field with a research-heavy and innovation-focused approach.

Nanotechnology Engineering students learn to design and manipulate materials at the nanoscale, using quantum mechanics, molecular chemistry, and advanced materials science. The program is intensely research-focused, with labs involving atomic force microscopy (AFM), nanoelectronics, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and biomedical nanodevices. You’ll also take courses in semiconductor physics, biosystems, nano-fabrication, and materials modeling. Co-op terms provide experience in sectors like health tech, cleantech, advanced manufacturing, and academia.
