| description | This paper shall firstly presents the nanotechnology research, investment, education, etc. in the
developed countries such as North America, European Union, Japan, etc. Then, the present
activities and future action plan for Malaysian nanotechnology were compared. This was done as
Malaysia is a fast developing country with its promising vision of 2020. The position of Malaysia
in nanotechnology was also compared with several Asian countries such as China, Singapore,
South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand as to be competitive in the region. The main emphasize was
the introduction of nanotechnology teaching for the undergraduate science and engineering
students who will lead the upcoming nanotechnology society in the near future. Recommendations
were made for the undergraduate and high school curriculum to suit for nanotechnology. It also
emphasized on public awareness, ethical and societal implication of nanotechnology for its faster
and beneficial application in the country. |
