specialty area at a particular level of instruction. As a general
rule, in order to be considered for degree program status, a course
of study should require at least 27 semester hours in the proposed
program area at the undergraduate level; at least half the number of
hours required for the degree at the master’s level; and at least 21

Nanotechnology is Experimental
NCA&T State University has been funded at an average rate of $3-5 million per year in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Most of the research in nanoengineering is done in the Center for  Advanced Materials and Smart Structures (CAMSS). Several Centers and projects are under CAMSS, including the NSF Center for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST), the DoD Center for Nanoscience, Nanomaterials and Multifunctional Materials (CNN) for Homeland Security, the NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC), the NSF project on US/Europe Materials Collaboration: Self-Organized Nanostructured Thin Films for Catalysis, the NSF project on Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT), the NSF Major Research Instrumentation for Nanoengineering Research, and the NSF Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program. CAMSS also facilitates many of the materials research activities of the NASA-National Institute for Aerospace (NIA). In addition, the Center for Composite Materials Research (CCMR) does research in nano-enhanced composite materials and the Army Center of Excellence for Battlefield Capability Enhancements (Flexible Displays) does research in material characterization and development of novel displays.

Armstrong Subject:
Request for
interpretation of
accuracy of
nanoscience message,
April 13, 2010:
The bottom line,
however, is that we
need to submit a
full prospectus and
need to do so as
soon as possible.
This request will be
for approval to
initiate a new
off-campus site
(South Campus) and
to initiate a new
degree program (MS
in Nanoscience) at
that site.
Contrary to previous
interpretations,
both represent
substantive changes..
Due to the
confusion, they are
willing to waive the
requirement that we
do so 6 months in
advance and will
usher it though the
approval process in
a timely way so that
we can accept
students into UNCG's
MS in Nanoscience
program next fall. |

April
2006,
approved
recommending
1.3
million
dollars
for
planning
a
Biotechnology

Proposed
facility
would
enable
NCA&T to
support

activities
in
bioengineering,
biotechnology,
and
biomedicine.

NC A&T' biotechnology program is interdisciplinary and will incorporate research activities currently housed in the College of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, and School of Agriculture and Environment Sciences. The Total cost of this project is $25 Million dollars. |
