分子和纳米级工程是一个广阔但充满希望的领域，将有助于发展未来的技术并改变世界。借助分子和纳米级结构的精密度，可以设计新材料和响应/自适应平台，以将物理，化学，生物学和计算科学的进步转化为功能性工具。分子和纳米级工程学将电子和材料工程学的概念与纳米科学相结合，以使学生准备使用网络物理系统或其他包括纳米级构建模块的响应式智能系统。学生可以对传感技术，能源生产，食品科学和国家安全以及其他许多学习领域感兴趣。分子和纳米级工程学将使学生适应和设计新的纳米材料，使他们在小工作时能有大的想法。
Molecular and nanoscale engineering integrates concepts from electrical and materials engineering with nanoscience to prepare students to work with cyber-physical systems or other responsive, intelligent systems that include nanoscale building blocks. Modeling and simulation of nanostructured assemblies, functional nanoparticles, and soft nanosystems are integral parts of this emerging field. Students are trained in both experimental and computational aspects of nanoengineering, and can pursue their interest in sensing technologies, energy devices, nanomedicine, materials discovery, and other areas of study.
