EDUCATION

CNST commits to contributing towards the goals set forth by the Illinois Board for Higher Education. CNST takes on the challenge for the development of a nanoscale science and technology curriculum unique to the University of Illinois. The curriculum will provide students with a broad interdisciplinary understanding of the nanotechnology as it applies to basic and applied research. The students with this unique curriculum will gain knowledge, develop skills, and appreciation the role nanotechnology is likely to play in shaping our future. CNST is leading the effort in preparing our students today for tomorrow's challenges.
