Nanotechnology???

[crazy legs]

I'm about to start college and the course I will be doing is science with nanotechnology. I know it is to do with really small stuff but what else. Also is there the smallest chance it could be fun. Thanks

a very very very very small chance perhaps :)

How can they run a course on something so bleeding edge?
Even the scientists and engineers involved are still figuring things out.

Surely if you applied to do this course you should know what is about!!!

If the idea of constructing a working ball bearing from 36 carbon atoms turns you on, then you should be OK.

Where are you going to study this? Sounds an odd title for a course.

[crazy legs]

Studying in D.I.T and I only put it down because I thought I'd get a better offer

[Hamish]

DIT? US uni? Detroit ?

OK I think I found it - Dublin Inst of Tech. The course seems to be a bit of everything. If you jsut want a degree and it looks interetstin then go for it. If you are seriously interested in Nanotechnology do a degree in Physics or Chemistry and then specialise for a PhD. I do research in nanotechnology and would be unlikely to take someone with this type of degree for a PhD.

Left it a bit late to find out haven't you? What happens if you don't like the course and change having deprived some other student from studying it who DOES know what it is?
