Nanobiotechnology is the application of nano- and micro-fabrication methods to build tools for exploring the mysteries of biological systems.  It is a graduate-level course that will cover the basics of biology and the principles and practice of microfabrication techniques with a focus on applications in biomedical and biological research.  One objective of the course is to facilitate a means through which biologists and engineers can communicate.  A team design project that stresses interdisciplinary communication and problem solving will be one of the course requirements.

Course Goals

·        Physical science, life science and engineering students will collaborate to research a biological problem, craft a technological solution and design a device to implement the technology.

·        Students will communicate with each other through team-based activities and through an on-line discussion board and chat room to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations.
