Overview
B.Sc. in Nanotechnology, Chemistry, Computational Biology
Nanotechnology is a discipline that has immense scope in today’s world. With applications in fields ranging from conventional Physics to the latest approaches in molecular science, this programme paves way for graduates in numerous career fields. With this undergraduate program, GCU strives to provide a platform for candidates to learn about the ways in which they can change the world at a molecular or sub-molecular level. Further facilitating growth in students’ minds, the programme encourages innovative thinking and supports the research to draw conclusions about the feasibility and practicality of the proposed innovations, in today's global landscape.
Nanotechnology is an expanding area of research, with the potential to revolutionize lives and provide unparalleled solutions to various problems in medicine, energy, agriculture, and the environment. In computational biology methods to analyse large samples of biological data are developed and then applied. These computational methods have applications in the analysis of genetic sequences, protein samples, cell populations and more, which help make novel predictions or discover new aspects of biology.
Combining chemistry and computational biology with the nanotechnology material, the programme finds applicability over many aspects of life. Graduates of the programme are holistically developed with exemplary problem-solving skills rooted in in-depth knowledge about the subject.
Highlights
- This course introduces Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Structure – properties, functions and applications are identified as the core concepts of nanoscience. The corresponding synthesis and processing steps, and the performance of such materials under environmental constraints, constitute the core of Nanotechnology. Nanoscience is presented as the convergence of Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry, and Biology focusing on phenomena and opportunities to fabricate at the nanometer scale where the energy scales of a variety of processes conflate. As nanotech is the epitome of interdisciplinarity, the course attempts to build up student’s communication skills and attempts to get them into the habit of life-long learning.
- The emergence of any new technology often raises the challenge of balancing risks and benefits, and in this regard nanotechnology is no exception. Class subject matter and format will examine the implications of nanotechnology within a socioeconomic-environmental context. Nanotechnology has broad social, ethical and legal implications ranging from environmental remediation and/or contamination to social justice and equity applications in developing countries, to biomedical treatments and interventions, to intellectual property dilemmas. Students gain familiarity with these applications as well as skills in analyzing and balancing risks and benefits.
- The course exposes students to expert views from a variety of perspectives and will help students develop critical analysis and reasoning skills working both individually and collaboratively. Emphasis is placed on integrating technological literacy with critical inquiry and problem solving in social and ethical context
