SUBJECT NAME: NANO TECHNOLOGY SUBJECT CODE: 2170508 B.E. 7th SEMESTER
Type of course: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
Prerequisite: Fundamental of Chemistry, thermodynamics and material Science
Rationale: To make students understand the use of concept of nanotechnology and nanoscience in the chemical industries and in consumer products. Nanotechnology will mean complete control of the structure of matter, building complex objects with molecular precision. In current scenario, engineers are finding a wide variety of ways to deliberately make materials at the nanoscale to take advantage of their enhanced properties such as higher strength, lighter weight, increased control of light spectrum, and greater chemical reactivity then their larger scale counterparts. So in order to move towards advanced materials and devices students should have the knowledge of nano science.

Course Outcome: After learning the course the students should be able:
1) Understand bulk and Nanostructured materials.
2) Understand synthesis of nanomaterial with different. 3) Understand the basic principal of various characterization technique. 4) Understand the use of nanoscience and nanotechnology for various applications. 5) Students can understand the difficulties in synthesizing Nano particles and can work in the field of commercialization of Nano materials. List of Tutorials:
Students can study different synthesis techniques for producing nanoparticles depending upon the types and properties of Nano materials. Each group of students are expected to create a way to synthesize nanomaterials in cheap and easier way at laboratory level and prepare report of project assigned to his/her group even students can study the instruments related to the characterization of Nano materials. In addition, each group is expected to give a power point presentation during the semester. The presenter will be selected randomly just prior to the presentation.
List of Open Source Software/learning website:
Students can refer to video lectures available on various websites including NPTEL. Students can refer to the CDs which are available with some reference books for the solutions of problems using software. Students can develop their own programs for the solutions using excel, Chemical and other simulation software.
ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS:
Preparation of power-point slides, which include videos, animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding theory and practical work – The faculty will allocate chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the entire syllabus to be covered. The power-point slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should submit to GTU.
