what do you think of it ?
what are the main career prospects for a phd in nanotechnology engineering ?
also how much quantum mechanics do NT engineers study ?
can i major in physics and then go for an MSc in nanotechnology ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I was a visiting scientist in a nanotechnology group - mechanical engineering - they were studying some fundamental properties, working on controlled, repeatable approaches to growing CNTs with desired characteristics, and designing and implementing applications: from bio, to sensor, to structural.

I think that it is a wide-open field, with a great deal of promise.
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
