Nanotechnology - A Future Technology with Visions
|
Nanotechnology is increasingly considered to be the future technology. Nanotechnology provides access to the world of the smallest things. The possible applications of this technology are immense. Nanotechnology is dealing with research and the construction in the sphere of very small structures: one nanometre is one millionth of a millimeter. Moreover it is playing with the atoms. The worldwide need for nanotechnology workers is expected to reach 2 million by 2015.
This involves the wider perspective of Designing, Modelling and Simulation & Visualization of Nanoproducts using Nano-IT software tools as per the industry standards. Our workshop has converged Information Technology with Nanotechnology. Essentially the ability to control the atomic and molecular building blocks of material, nanotechnology will be applied to change or create chemical, electronic, magnetic, optical and structural properties in materials or nanostructures. |
Nanotech courses in IT security, robotics

There are limitless job opportunities in niche technology areas. According to NASSCOM’s figures, IT security alone will have over 1,88,000 vacancies by 2008. Nanotechnology’s tremendous research and job potential also makes it a calling of the future. In fact the worldwide need for nanotechnology workers is expected to reach two million by 2015. Keeping this demand in mind, Appin Knowledge Solutions, a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Appin group, has announced its winter training programmes in niche technology areas such as Embedded Robotics, Nanotechnology, Ethical Hacking and IT security. The duration of these courses will range from one to three weeks depending on the format chosen and the students can select from a host of courses including full-time options, part-time lessons and weekend training sessions. |
