<p>Anyone have any experience or input on this program?</p>

<p>Nanotechnology is still a few decades away from an established industry. Nanotechnology is still mostly in the research stages. All the good research jobs go to exerienced individuals. Research relies on government grants. The government is making huge budget cuts.</p>

<p>Louisiana program is still not ABET accredited. Abet is a must. It’s also a new program.</p>

<p>Alchemist, ABET is only a must if you want civil, some areas of mechanical and chemical and one subdiscipline of electrical. ABET is not required in the case of nanotech. Also it might be too new to get ABET, as ABET only accredits once you have a graduated class. </p>

<p>That said, for undergrad, it is a better idea to stay in CivE, MechE, ChemE, or EE. For grad school it is fine to go into a more specialized discipline of engineering. The other branches of engineering are too new for it to make sense to specialize at the undergrad level. Though taking a couple of classes in nanotech is fine.</p>
