There is a new special topics class that you can register for. This can count as a technology elective for Natural Resources Management students, ecosystem health elective for Environmental Health Students, applications or technology elective for EcoTech Design Students.
ENST 499 Special Topics: Nanotechnology in Energy and Environment: Applications and Implications
Day/Time: MWF 3-3:50
Room: ANS 0422
Seat Limit: 30
Instructor: Dr. Amro Hassanein
Course Description: The course aims to impart the fundamental knowledge in nanoscience in the context of the advancement of Nanotechnology in energy and environmental applications. Through this course students will taught the different aspects of Nanotechnology and the bridging of multidisciplinary knowledge in terms of the positives and negatives of nanotechnology. Specific areas to be covered in this course include nanocatalysis, application of nanotechnology in renewable energy, solar photovoltaic, photoelectrochemical conversion, energy storage, pollutants sensing, and photocatalytic abatement of air and water. Moreover, the course will analyze nanotechnology through an interdisciplinary outlook for a life-cycle analysis and how nanoparticle characteristics impact transport in the environment, including human exposure assessment, and a discussion of current measurement tools.
