Current Issues in
Nanomanufacturing
Spring, 2005
The NSEC Center
for High-Rate Nanomanufacturing offers a seminar course that examines key issues
associated with high rate template-based nanomanufacturing, including
Environmental, regulatory, and ethical issues
associated with new technologies are also addressed.
The course is co-taught by faculty from Northeastern
University (NEU), the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML), the University
of New Hampshire (UNH), and Michigan State University (MSU). Meeting dates:
January 27, February 10, February 24, March 10, March 24, and April 7, 2005. Time: 12:00 to 3:30, including lunch.
