What should I study in university if I want to go into Nanotechnology?
Question by Karl: What should I study in university if I want to go into Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is the engineering of very small components and assemblies not larger than about 1 mm. I’m primarily interested as it applies to fixing things in the human body. But I’m not sure what degree I should get or exactly how to go into this new field.

You will need to get a degree in Material Sciences from a program with a Semiconductor curriculum. All this work is done via microetching, photolithography, PVD, etc.

Answer by mfateminia
Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field consisting of:
physics(Quantum mechanics,Solid state phys)
chemistry(Molecular and atomic approach)
biology
mathematics
and finally Engineering!
so before asking about the desired engineering field you should ask of fundamentals, considering your interest as an important factor.
you are interested in mateial properties?or biotechnology?or maybe nanoelectronics(MEMs,semiconductors,…)?
Each of these is a different field of engineering.
