On behalf of the world's first college devoted to advancing and disseminating atomic scale knowledge, I welcome you to the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany - State University of New York.

Our vision and mission can be summed up in three words: Changing the world.

CNSE utilizes a pioneering model that integrates unique interdisciplinary study, world-class intellectual capital and unparalleled physical resources with unwavering support from New York's elected officials and groundbreaking corporate investment by the world's leading nanoelectronics companies-including placement of their research centers and programs on site at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex.

In the process, CNSE has created a next-generation educational curriculum that offers unmatched workforce preparation and development, a platform for game-changing scientific research and opportunities for global high-tech companies to gain an innovative advantage in the science and engineering that the National Nanotechnology Initiative describes as "leading to the next industrial revolution."
