UNC Board of Governors
wasn't writing on a clean sheet paper with Nanotechnology. NC
A&T is well known in Nanotechnology globally and UNCG didn't
make the state list of Universities focused on
Nanotechnology |
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]

NCA&T/UNCG Joint School of Nanoscience and

departments, laboratory facilities (teaching an
research), and centers and institutes of the new School
as well as selected centers and institutes currently
located at the partner universities. [ ] UNC
at Greensboro that was not listed as a University
focused on Nanotechnology in April 2006 Roadmap of
Nanotechnology in NC when UNC Board of Governors without
a request by either UNC at Greensboro or NC A&T Board of
Trustees approved the Joint Program in Nanoscience and
Nanoengineering (NCA&T and UNCG pending BOG approval.
Nor did NCA&T nor UNCG request the Nanoscience and

UNCG Millennial Campus). |
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

Liberal Arts University of North

degrees in English, Psychology,

Science, and Music none of which
constitute an under standing of

NCA&T State University has been
funded at an average rate of
$3-5 million per year in the
area of nanoscience and
nanotechnology. Most of the
research in nanoengineering is
done in the Center for Advanced
Materials and Smart Structures (CAMSS).
Several Centers and projects are
under CAMSS, including the NSF
Center for Research Excellence
in Science and Technology
(CREST), the DoD Center for
Nanoscience, Nanomaterials and
Multifunctional Materials (CNN)
for Homeland Security, the NSF
Nanoscale Science and
Engineering Center (NSEC), the
NSF project on US/Europe
Materials Collaboration:
Self-Organized Nanostructured
Thin Films for Catalysis, the
NSF project on Nanoscale
Interdisciplinary Research Teams
(NIRT), the NSF Major Research
Instrumentation for
Nanoengineering Research, and
the NSF Nanotechnology
Undergraduate Education (NUE)
program. CAMSS also facilitates
many of the materials research
activities of the NASA-National
Institute for Aerospace (NIA).
In addition, the Center for
Composite Materials Research (CCMR)
does research in nano-enhanced
composite materials and the Army
Center of Excellence for
Battlefield Capability
Enhancements (Flexible Displays)
does research in material
characterization and development
of novel displays. [ ] |

UNC at Charlotte Proposed UNC Tomorrow
Statewide Nano Network collaboration
between UNC institutions involved in
nanotechnology and Nanoscience excludes
NC A&T and NC Central. Between 2000-05
NC A&T conducted 11 Millions dollars of
nanotechnology research compared to 5.5
million at UNCG and $44,000 dollars at
UNCG. HBI NCCU conducted 2.3 Million
