Objectives

OBJECTIVES

Assure an interdisciplinary training in the field of nano-engineering, which includes a profound understanding of the chemistry and the methods of synthesis and characterization of nano-materials and nano-systems

Give the students expertise in numerical modeling to predict the chemical and physical properties at the nano-scale 

Train the students to synthesize, characterise and model objects of the nano-world, in order to understand their properties, using disciplinary knowledge of fundamental sciences and transdisciplinary knowledge of nano-sciences

Develop a creative experimental approach to prepare, characterise and model nano-objects (nanostructures, nanomaterials or nano-devices) with unknown properties, or resolve problems related to their identification/application/production

Prepare the students for a career in the field of nanotechnology, by offering them a robust experience in this multidisciplinary domain of sciences and engineering

Prepare the students to construct and realize individually or in a team all steps of a research and development project in the domain of nano-sciences et nanotechnologies, mobilising various pluridisciplinary parties

Enable the students to conceive, prepare and use nano-objects in various professional contexts, integrating ethical environmental and societal challenges

Train highly qualified and creative graduates for the labour market with a big capacity to adapt themselves and to find new solutions for technological development (problem solving)

Educate a new generation of engineers who can participate in the creation of new high-technology companies
