degrees that work.
The modern workforce offers tremendous opportunities for men and women prepared to apply advanced technology in their fields.
A new “degrees that work” broadcast production of Pennsylvania College of Technology and WVIA public television, introduces 21st century career and education opportunities.
Nanotechnology
The nanotechnology episode helps to define a technology that uses knowledge of atoms and molecules to enhance modern life through product development and medical research. The 30-minute presentation explores the technology and the related career opportunities with experts in the field, and it follows a former Penn College student, Mark A. Atwater, as he completes his education at one of the nation’s top nanotechnology education facilities, The Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization.
