`
`Educational Resources
`
`Since active student participation is essential to the impact (and fun!) of this course, we
`
`strongly encourage students to take advantage of the online resources, and your
`
`colleagues. We welcome all questions (at least those nominally course or career related)
`
`during lecture or by contacting us directly.
`
`Required Textbook: Nanotechnclcgvmndststandiogfimallsystems (Rogers et a!)

`
`Course Description
`This multi—disciplinary course provides an introduction to scientific principles and
`
`applications of nano-science and technology to students coming from a wide variety of
`
`backgrounds. The course takes a systems-based approach to demonstrate how different
`
`nano-concepts come together to create systems with unique functions and characteristics.
`
`Nano and macroscale systems are compared to emphasize the fundamental differences
`
`between phenomena at different scales.
`
`Evaluation & Grading Policy
`A weighted average grade will be calculated as folloWs:
`
`Final Exam = fl. Tests (x3) = fl ”L’s (ea). Homework = $10, Project: fl
`
`Overall grades in the course will follow University guidelines:

`
`
`There will be a gray area of several points below each of the numerical cutoffs above. A
`
`student may receive the higher grade (e.g., EH instead B) at the discretion of the professor.
`This discretion may depend on several things: steady improvement in the Tests over the
`
`semester, strong in-class participation, etc.
`
`Lectures
`
`Nearly all lectures will be in-person as scheduled. Occasionally, due to Professor travel, a
`lecture will be recorded and distributed via MoodlelMediasite. This will be followed up by a
`brief online Quiz to give immediate feedback on the lecture content.
`
`Some of our class time activities will go beyond the Professor delivering a lecture.
`We will have group active learning and discussion. based at least on the assigned reading
`and homework.
`
`Exam/ Test Policy
`There will be three (3) in—class Tests, and a Final Exam. Brief, in-class reviews will be
`
`organized, and Instructional Objectives will be posted one week ahead to guide student
`study.
`
`If a Test or Final Exam is missed without a certified medical excuse or prior
`instructor approval, a zero will be averaged into your grade. Certified excuses and prior
`approval will be dealt with individually. A single makeup exam for Tests 1 thru 3 will be
`
`offered, held at a designated time at the end of the semester, and before the Final Exam.
`
`This makeup exam will include the contents assessed by Tests 1 thru 3, regardless of
`which of these is being "made up“. A makeup for the Final Exam will be arranged on a
`case-by-case basis.
`
`The Final Exam will be comprehensive.
`
`Homework Policy
`There will be approximately 8 homework assignments during the semester. All will be
`delivered and submitted by the course website. These may include online questions, book
`
`problems, essays, as well as PDF submissions, and even peer-grading (ifl can get it
`working!).
`
`It is the responsibility of the students to check the course website to learn the due
`
`dates AND times of the assignments. No late homework will be accepted.
`However, the lowest homework assignment score will be automatically dropped, i.e.
`only the highest 7 of the 8 homeworks will count toward the overall grade.
`
`P
`
`Textbook Reading Policy
`Students are expected to actually read the assigned textbook sections - after all, this topic
`is immensely fascinating, and the textbook is highly readable] This is part of your
`homework. This will greatly facilitate and accelerate student learning.
`
`
`
`Project (* to be determined)
`A project will be assigned mid—way through the course. Details of this will follow. This may
`be an individual paper reviewing an aspect of nano—science or technology, a group
`presentation, etc.
`
`Expenses
`Cost of the textbook (~$100). via the link above or NCSU bookstore (etc).
`
`Attendance
`
`Full participation in lectures and examinations is expected of all students. An attendance
`
`record will be kept and used to assess student participation where necessary. Certified
`excuses and prior approval will be dealt with individually, and can be easily arranged via
`email beforehand. Excused lecture absences must be arranged beforehand, by email to the
`instructor. Unexcused absences are considered considered as lack of participation.
`
`Instructors’ Commitment
`
`We aim to provide you with the best course materials and to go out of our way to assist you
`in learning the material. You can expect your instructors to be courteous, respectful, and
`punctual; to be well organized and prepared for lectures; to answer questions clearly and in
`a non-negative fashion; to be available during office hours or notify you beforehand if we are
`unable to kept them; to grade uniformly and consistently according to posted guidelines.
`
`For Students with Disabilities
`
`Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities. In order
`
`to take advantage of available accommodations, students must register with the Disability
`Services Office. For information on NO State‘s support and policies for with students with
`disabilities. see thiilm They will coordinate with course instructors for the right
`accommodations.
`
`Academic Integrity
`University policy will be followed. Note that teamwork is strongly encouraged (as it is an
`important part of being a successful engineer), but plagiarism/cheating is not be tolerated at
`all. You are expected to fully understand and author any assignments even though you may
`work On them with your classmates on out-of-class assignments. [f you do not meet this
`standard, it is far better to discuss the situation with the professor than to dig yourself into a
`hole (i.e. cheating) that will have significant long-term consequences.
`
`
`
`Instructional Objectives
`1. Explain the fundamental properties of materials at nano-scale, especially as
`distinguished from their properties at the macro-scale.
`2. Critically analyze nanotechnology systems and distinguish their unique properties
`that are solely based on nano—scale features.
`
`3. Discuss the current and potential impact of nanoscience in applications, including
`mechanics, electronics, photonics. and biotechnology.
`
`4. Caicuiate andior estimate of the electronic, optical. mechanical properties of
`materials at nano-scale.
`
`5. Describe operatiOnal principles of devices based on nano—scale patterning or
`nano-structured materials and calculate their properties.
`
`6. Articulate the early milestones. key personalities, and current challenges of
`nanotechnology.
