Bachelor of Applied Science - Nanotechnology Engineering (Co-op)

Join Canada's first accredited Nanotechnology Engineering program at the University of Waterloo. Gain co-op experience and innovate in cutting-edge labs!

Program Description Nanotechnology enables all technology. The advancement in miniaturization has transformed computing power and continues to be a growing and developing field. As the root of innovation, fueling changes in life and society, nanotechnology opens many career options from medical to pharma to electronics to automotive and materials research. In Canada’s first accredited undergraduate Nanotechnology Engineering program, students will use principles from biology, chemistry, electronics, and quantum physics to create materials and machines far too small to see with the naked eye. Students will gain extensive experience in their lab courses and through a range of paid co-op opportunities. In their upper years, students will spend eight months at a time on co-op work terms, so students can really dig deep into a project — and graduate with a seriously impressive resume. Students will use concepts from biology, chemistry, electronics, and quantum physics to design systems measured in billionths of a metre in the $160-million Quantum-Nano Centre, a facility packed with the very latest nano-fabrication tools in ultra-sterile cleanrooms.
