PURPOSE:
Adopting fundamental concepts of nano and micro-integrated chemical systems (ICS) and their function, form and application in the context of multidisciplinary fields of modern science and technology. Enabling students to understand and apply systematic approach in analysis and synthesis of ICSs, using previously adopted knowledge in related fields of chemistry and engineering. Becoming familiar with real examples of high-tech integrated chemical systems including DNA chips, organic solar cells, microfluidic diagnostic chips.
