Wouldn't you want to be in the know about an unfolding here-and-now revolution called nanotechnology? Nanotechnology will rule! It is happening right now, right in front of our noses. If you graduate from this college without knowing what it is, it would be a pity, especially given your not-so-cheap tuitions. You will learn about the basic building blocks of this burgeoning technology and its potential impacts on the society. This course is not just about the nanotechnology; it is about the interplay between technology/nanotechnology and you and me, i.e. us, the society. If you think that the society is passive and does nothing more than consuming, then you really need to take this course, because in this course you will discover that not only is technology/nanotechnology shaping the way we live but it is also being molded by the society itself.
