Course Catalog Description
The 290 courses cover current topics of research interest in electrical engineering. The course content may vary from semester to semester.
Class Description
We cannot simply miniaturize a Roomba robot to clean up plaque in our arteries – the laws of the nanoworld are different from what we are used to. Nanorobotics is the discipline that investigates the challenges and opportunities of constructing and programming robots on nanoscale, and it holds the potential to transform science, medicine, and engineering. This emerging discipline is poised to address several emerging society needs, such as disease diagnostics and therapy. Students will learn engineering principles necessary to construct nanorobots.
Class Notes
Basic university level math, physics, chemistry, and biology are desirable but not mandatory.
