Physics-Nanomanufacturing Technology Track, BS

  • A student does research in a physics lab

    UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH — Opportunities exist for students to assist with faculty research. For some, this has led to publishing with a faculty member or presenting findings at the Undergraduate Scholars Forum.

    “I did two semesters of independent study with professor Devki Talwar. He's studying thin-film semiconductors. He'd give me projects to work on and papers to read, and meet with me to teach and discuss what we were working on. We published a paper, along with a couple of graduate students, in the Journal of Physics.”

    Look to the future with nanomanufacturing technology

    In nanomanufacturing, scientists work at the atomic level. The future applications of nanotechnology will change our world, from medicine to energy production, in ways we don’t even know yet.

    As a Physics major in the Nanomanufacturing Technology track, you’ll learn from Physics faculty members who care about the success of each and every student. They’ll guide you through the coursework and laboratory experiences you’ll need to enter this promising field.

    In addition, in your junior or senior year, you’ll benefit from one semester of experiential learning in the high-tech field of semiconductor device manufacturing at the state-of-the-art facility at Penn State–University Park Campus.

    • Gain experiential learning in the high-tech field of semiconductor device manufacturing at a state-of-the-art facility at Penn State-University Park Campus.
    • Prepare to enter careers in rapidly growing industries and higher education.
