Learning outcomes
Students will understand the principles and practices necessary for ensuring safety and fostering innovation in the chemical industry, with a particular focus on applications in nanotechnology. They will explore strategies to recognize and manage chemical reactivity hazards, gain knowledge of nanoscale manufacturing processes, and learn to synthesize and characterize nanomaterials for innovative applications. The student is expected to be able to: 1. Recognize and manage chemical reactivity hazards to ensure safety in industrial and laboratory settings; 2. Understand and apply principles of nanomanufacturing and nanoprocessing to advance innovation in the chemical industry; 3. Synthesize and characterize nanomaterials using advanced techniques and analyze their applications in areas such as biomedicine and industry.
