Course Objective

Nano sized products play important role in the development of novel tools from production of internal combustion engines, jet engines and astronomical instruments to electronic and micro-electronic devices. These products continue to be used in increasingly diverse applications today, and much of modern technology relies on its existence. Such products will have an increased technological knowledge content using processing technology that is more advanced. Advancements in ultra-fine processing and manufacturing technology will be necessary for the new processing technology; these innovations may lead to eliminating expensive steps, improving productivity, and increasing product reliability. The aim of this course is to introduce appropriate production knowledge of micro and nano particles processes to an extent.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Provide students with physically-based foundational knowledge of mechanical and tribological behavior of interfaces at the atomic/molecular/nanometer scale
2   Illustrate the current research approaches to studying these problems in terms of experiments, theory, and computation
3   For background, to introduce the students to key macroscopic principles of tribology so that they can appreciate the differences and similarities with nanotribology
4   Also for background, to introduce students to the topics of crystallography (atomic structure and bonding) and the physical principles of surfaces
5   Enhance students appreciation of the current state and potential future impact of nanotechnology, and how nanomechanics and nanotribology are important for this

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and discussion format. All class
members are expected to attend and both the lecture and seminar hours and take part in
the discussion sessions. Besides the taught lecture, group presentations are to be
prepared by the groups assigned for that week and presented to open a discussion
session.
