Free Nanotechnology Tech's Training Starts in February

Anyone interested in the career of the future is invited to attend a no-cost Nanotechnology Technician’s Training course beginning on Feb. 18 and ending April 3. There are still a few seats open. The training is funded under the Industry Driven Regional Collaborative (IDRC) grant from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Workforce and Economic Division. These sessions are open to all individuals provided they possess the required science related degree and/or work-experience. Two sections will be offered: Section 1A (afternoon, from 1 to 5 p.m.) and Section 1B, 6 to 10 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, with the exception of one Friday class). The training includes the 45 hours of Phase I: Introduction to Nanotechnology instruction. Phase II and Phase III, which consist of lectures and on-the job-training in the fundamentals of nano-materials, nano-energy and nano-medicine. Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating materials at the atomic level to design and manufacture new and better materials and products. One nanometer equals one billionth of one meter. A sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick. Due to quantum mechanical effects at the nanoscale, the physical properties of materials change as well as rules of manufacturing. This is the revolutionary new manufacturing process — and not a single technology. The training will be held at the Center for the Advancement of Nanotechnology (NanoCenter), Applied Technology Training Center, 114 S. Del Rosa Drive in San Bernardino. Some portion of the hands-on and on-the-job training will be conducted at the University of California, Riverside and at industry partners’ locations. For specific minimum qualifications and further information, visit www.attctraining.org or call 909-382-4001 or 909-382-4080 for a registration packet.
