Learning Outcomes:

This course provides a general microtechnology-nanotechnology overview with sections on all the main areas The basics are covered to familiarise the student with the terms, concepts and tools most used in microtechnology and nanoscience/ nanotechnology researchers and engineers. By describing some of the discoveries can change the students understanding of how things work in micro-nano scale and can focus their own creative energy towards tackling important science and engineering questions for continuation of their studies at postgraduate level.
