Oakton to host January nanotechnology open houses
Oakton Community College will hold open houses for its nanotechnology program 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Jan. 5 and 12, at Skokie's Illinois Science + Technology Park (IS+TP) Conference Center, 8045 Lamon Ave.
According to Recruiter.com, salaries for nanotechnology engineering technicians average $79,000 per year and range from $30,000 to $94,000.
On the cutting edge of science, nanotechnology plays a critical role in biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine and physics - from building microprocessors and delivering anti-cancer drugs efficiently to making clothes more stain resistant and improving sunscreen absorption.
Explore opportunities in the field and discuss Oakton-related internships, jobs and business resources. Connect with representatives of local nanotech companies, discuss Oakton's nanotech curriculum with faculty and alumni and tour the laboratory.
Oakton will offer three nanotechnology courses during the spring semester. Each is fundamental to Oakton's 31-credit-hour nanotechnology certificate. Enrollment is limited and classes begin Jan. 17. Register at www.oakton.edu/apply.
