Florida Tech's Nanotechnology Minor Program

If you want High Tech with a Human Touch for your or your child's university experience, that is Florida Tech's motto, and we take it quite seriously.

My nanotechnology minor program is one of only six such undergrad programs in the US and sixty in the world. Learning does happen in the classroom, but it really happens in the lab. Our program has more lab credit hours than anyone else's. I teach chemical, biomedical, and materials engineering, but I teach and employ plenty of mechanical, aerospace, and electrical engineers working for me as well on projects like

a) 3D printing of metals, rocket propellant grains, and tissue scaffolding;
b) self-assembly of proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease proteins; and
c) conversion of biomass into energy, fuel, and chemicals for our future Atlantis.

I have rejected the Stadler/NSF way and either fund my own research or get it supported by industry in my effort to be consistent with Galt's ethics.

Florida Institute of Technology (also Florida Tech, or FIT) is a non-tenure-granting, private university that just made it into the top 200 in the world rankings according to the London Times. I will see to it that you get all possible discounts and scholarships. Florida Tech is inexpensive for a private university at $38000 per year. That is the true cost of a university education if you do not want to be a moocher. You will exchange your value (money) for my values (knowledge, expertise, and time).

Educating future Galts,
Prof. Jim Brenner
Nanotechnology Minor Program Chair

    Hi Brenner,
    Small world. My husband was a Prof. at FIT. My son graduated with the highest GPA the year he graduated and went to CM in Pittsburg on a Nat'l Science Foundation grant to get his doctorate. He wanted to understand nano technology. He ended up going to MIT getting a doctorate in Chemical Eng. I wrote about my son because I had a little trouble with him when he was about 14. His punishment was to read AS. It changed his life

    Sorry, I hadn't responded sooner. I have been in a 90 hour week for my "shrug job". I have to keep up cover once in a while. ;)

    Send me an e-mail at jbrenner@fit.edu, and I'll send you a copy of my take home exam for nanotech.

    Man, I would love to do this, only I'm on the wrong side of the country and lack a science background to fully appreciate the nomenclature.
