MISSION - OBJECTIVES -
COMPETENCES
2. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are fast-growing fields, that ensure the development of
nanomaterials, nanostructures, and nanodevices with a wide range of applications.
The Nanoscience (NANO) study program aims to train specialists in this field, promoting a high
level of professional expertise through specialized and interdisciplinary studies. Graduates will be able to
design, organize, and manage production systems and generate the necessary relationships to connect
them to the economic and social environment, as well as monitor studies in the design and development
of new nanomaterials, nanostructures, and nanodevices.
3. Objective:
• Provides training for future engineers by grounding theoretical concepts and
experimental (practical) work with applications in topical fields.
- Ability to design, produce, research, and develop sustainable materials for the biomedical and
biotechnological field, in partnership, through research and development of new micro- and
nanomaterials used in both diagnostics and medical treatment, by providing specialists in biocompatible
materials.
- Supports the development of micro/nanomaterials and advanced oxide and polymeric
materials manufacturing industry, in partnership, by providing a recruitment pool for future employers,
in parallel with business growth in specific sectors (capacity to develop new innovative products) and
also, by providing specialists in the field (researchers, teachers, etc.).
- Ability to research and develop smart materials and devices for innovative fields
(semiconductors, sensors, memories, controlled release systems, materials with sepecial properties
including self-healing, self-sensing, photosensitive, etc.);
