Why is Liberal Arts UNC at Greensboro
in the Nanoscience and Nanoengineering picture when
"almost all of the occupations which will be affected by
nanotechnology will require a BS in engineering with a
broad, interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary
approach, and an understanding not only of electrical,
mechanical and civil engineering, but biology, physics
and chemistry as well " |
NC
A&T is "well known in areas such as advanced
materials,
nanotechnology,
computational science, and says
N. Radhakrishnan, former for research and
economic development at N.C. A&T. The school
also has significant strengths in other areas,
including biotechnology, energy and the
environment, information sciences and
technology, logistics and transportation
development. |
|
All these
endeavors are aligned in eight research
clusters that bring faculty together across
disciplines to
develop large research projects.
These research clusters run in parallel with a
number of multidisciplinary centers and
institutes at N.C. A&T, which develop
partnerships with private and corporate
sponsors, educational institutions, and
government agencies. This includes two US Army
Centers of Excellence that are working on
projects to enhance the capabilities of soldiers
on the battlefield. [3] |
