What science and math skill sets are needed in NMT?
Students should discuss this question in detail with their adviser at their “home college.” Basically, a person in nanofabrication technology needs some chemistry background because of all the chemistry involved in deposition, etching, and lithography. An understanding of electrical measurements and basic physics is also needed, as are basic computer and algebra skills. Recommended high school subjects include two years of algebra and one year of physics. Chemistry also is strongly recommended.
