<p>For those probably who read this awhile later, I’d say if you are going to go into the business end of nanotechnology. I’d get a physics degree with strong minor in chemistry, and do a MS in Engineering or Applied Physics + MBA or some combo business / tech program. If ya know ya are going to do device work on nanoelectronics, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nanosensors, or some form of metrology and test equipment for manufacturing which will probably become a big industry for nanoelectronics to start, you’ll gain more in knowing that the particular device characteristics and properties might change over time, but you’ll still have a strong background in the underlying physical principles, mathematics, and chemical processes to create and model the device won’t change in the long run. A new platform for sensors or electronics might spring up, but you’ll at least be able to still keep up with the new device operating models and particular advance in the manufacturing process by already having strong fundamentals in the particular electronic, electromagnetic, mechanical, quantum and inorganic/organic chemistry models already in use, etc. Of course, if ya already think ya see a trend to a niche and know electrical engineering will be your particular avenue for digital nanoelectronics, then by all means take that specialty , but I think a broad scope in physical sciences and a masters in some niches afterward gives ya broader opportunities if some new discovery in the market is made that involves new modeling parameters which the engineer will learn and incorporate into existing device architectures.</p>
