The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering recognizes the enormous impact of nanotechnology on the job market of tomorrow, and is already preparing today's best and brightest for success in that market. Consider the projections:

• According to the National Science Foundation, the United States will need approximately two million nanotech-savvy workers by 2014.
• A recent report by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the top seven fastest-growing occupations are in computer-related fields.
• The average 2005 salary in nanotechnology was $84,605 globally, and $97,978 in the U.S.
• In 2005, 64% of U.S. nanotechnology employees received a raise, and 75% expect a raise in 2006.
• The nanotechnology job market comprises a highly educated workforce:
  • Nearly 37% hold a Ph.D., M.D., or J.D. degree
  • More than 29% hold an M.S. degree

Success in this market will be defined by a solid, cross-disciplinary background in science and engineering, and experience in cutting-edge research and applications. At CNSE, we do more than fulfill this need - we set the pace and lead the way.
