For nanoelectronics,which branch in engineering undergraduate helpful

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around selecting an appropriate undergraduate engineering branch in India that would facilitate further studies in nanoelectronics at the master's level. The context includes considerations of the current scope of nanotechnology in India and financial constraints preventing study abroad.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses concern about the lack of scope for nanotechnology/nanoelectronics in India and seeks advice on which engineering branch to choose.
  • Another participant questions the term "Btech" and suggests that nanotechnology aligns more with physics or electrical engineering.
  • A participant clarifies that Btech in India is equivalent to BS in the USA, describing it as an entry-level engineering degree.
  • Another participant recommends electronics engineering for a focus on nanoelectronics, while also suggesting chemical engineering for nanoprocessing and fabrication, and mechanical engineering for interests in NEMS (Nano electro mechanical systems).
  • It is noted that nanotechnology is interdisciplinary, implying that students should explore related fields beyond their major.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present various opinions on suitable engineering branches for pursuing nanoelectronics, indicating that there is no consensus on a single best choice. Multiple perspectives on the relevance of different engineering disciplines remain.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty regarding the current scope of nanotechnology in India and the implications for future studies. There are also differing interpretations of what constitutes the best preparatory path for a career in nanoelectronics.

Friend,this year in 2008 , i am going to take admission in engineering undergraduate program in india.In India there is no scope for nanotechnology/nanoelectronics. Which branch should i choose during Btech/BS, so that it will be helpful in learning nanoelectronics during MS?For financial reasons i can't go abroad now,so i am planning to go for Btech/BS in india.

What's Btech? I've always saw nanotechnology as a physics/electrical engineering type of area.
 
engineering science. Well basically engineering science and nanotechnology is same thing.
 
b tech is in India as BS is in usa.simplu entry level of engineering

hi there, if u're talkin abt nanoelectronics in specific, u shud opt for electronics engineering.
or if u're interested more in nanoprocessing/fabrication, u can try chemical engg.
even mechanical engg could help you if u're interested in NEMS (Nano electro mechanical systems).
Nanotech is interdisciplinary, so u can't confine yourself to one discipline. even if u major in say jus electronics engg, u could out of ur self-interest and initiatives try learning the other related stuff that fall outside the domain of EE.
goodluck!
 
thnx brother vijay...any more please
