 Nanoengineering
The objective behind nanoengineering isn't much different from ordinary engineering; that is, to design and assemble functional devices from the available components.
Nanoengineers are already assembling those components into functional devices such as nanoparticle films [1] for space aged coatings and gene chips for medical diagnostics.
A diverse array of components is available to the nanoengineer who wishes to use bottom-up design for the fabrication of devices such as a "nano-robot." Biological compounds such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids are particularly promising components since they are already known to carry out important nanoscale functions in biological systems.

After hearing 'nanoengineering' they become puzzled and stare at me for a bit before following up with "What's nanoengineering?" After explaining that the program offers a mix of chemistry, physics and material studies with a focus on all things nano, my inquisitors usually acknowledge with a few nods.
I remember in the first semester of my two years of nanoengineering specialization I would sit in a chemistry class and be amazed that what was being discussed by the professor was also explained in the previous hour in our quantum physics class.
Below are courses that I have completed in the Nanoengineering cirriculum of the truly interdisciplinary Engineering Science program as well as some other relevant courses.
