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 " why is Liberal Arts UNC at
Greensboro in the Nanoscience and Nanoengineering picture

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]
