<p>CHem eng for under grad then nanotech for grad school ?</p>
<p>you could study French art and then study nanotech in grad school.</p>
<p>I actually knew someone that went from B.A. Medieval Art, Ph.D. Neuroscience. And the B.A. was from an OK public school, the PhD was from a top school. It was all about his test scores and GPA.</p>
<p>Yes, as nanoengineering draws from a wide variety of disciplines with chemical engineering as one of the main one. In fact, chemical engineering falls under the nanoengineering department at UC San Diego, the only school in U.S. to offer a phD in nanoengineering.</p>
<p>is nano-tech mainly chem or bio , or 50-50 of both ?</p>
<p>Nanotech is more then just chem/bio depending on what you want to work in. It deals with tons of physics as well, as quantum mechanics becomes important when you work on problems at nano-scale. Some nanotech areas deals with electrical engineering as well since nanoelectronics is becoming a big research area; processors have to be smaller and faster soon. You need to research what areas to want to work in.</p>
<p>nanotech is broad… As far as I know EE, MechE and ChemE deal with it many times nowadays. Amby262roy, I actually go to the same college as you in the same major and I’m doing research on nanoscale particles on thin films and if I can do it why not you? Plus we have the option to get a M.S. in materials science with the addition of 1 year. And my guess is that materials science is the closest to nanotech. So sure you can.</p>
