<p>Most of the professors are from chemistry and material science departments. ChemE department is 3rd.</p>
<p>nanotech is a very diverse field (it incorporates mech E, EE, and ChemE. msot schools aren't going to offering nanotech as an undergrad degree ( i know a few do though), but i wouldn't suggegst actually majoring in this, because its a sort of 'fad' major that a lot of employers aren't going to recognize. nanotech is just going to be something you can pursue in your graduate studies.</p>
<p>i didn't mean that naperville central isn't a good school. great h.s. so like i said uiuc, michigan, wisconsin are all going to be safeties. northwestern would be a reach.</p>
<p>the petroleum industry is the largest hirer for Chem E's.</p>
<p>i don't have the actual stats but i think pharmaceutical is the largest hirer these day. there doesn't seem to be much R&D in the petro industry anymore.</p>
<p>what hdotchar says about nanotech is true. it's a rather advanced field that incorporates probably advanced knowledge in chemistry, chemE, material science..etc. unless you are truly exceptional, it's not something you can just hop in and join with only basic background in chemistry.</p>
<p>sorry i dont know who to ask .. if i do engineering </p>
<p>are SAT II's required for ...</p>
<p>umich ann arbor =
u of i =
u i c =
madison =
northwestern =
purdue = </p>
<p>and if i apply for gppa u i c ... med or engineering</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>U of I = Not required. Only ACT or SAT. SAT II's can't hurt tho.
U I C = Same. Any Illinois state school is big on the ACT.</p>
