The undergraduate curriculum constitutes a four-year accredited program in Engineering leading to a B.S. degree in NanoEngineering and requires completion of 185 units. The objective is to meet the standards of excellence at UC San Diego which allows students graduating with this degree to enter the industrial job market. The B.S. program in NanoEngineering is tailored to provide breadth and flexibility by taking advantage of the strength of basic sciences and other engineering disciplines at UC San Diego. The intention is to graduate nanoengineers who are multidisciplinary and can work in a broad spectrum of industries.<br><br>Students must follow the prescribed curriculum. Unavoidable deviation from the curriculum, for example, to participate in the Education Abroad Program, must be approved by the Undergraduate Affairs Committee prior to taking alternative courses elsewhere. Approvals are also needed for engineering courses not listed under the current selections for different engineering focus areas. Policy regarding these conditions may be obtained from the department's Student Affairs Office. All students are encouraged to visit the Student Affairs Office or visit the Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering website for any clarification and updated information.
