A reminder to those readers who are interested in attending ASME's Nano Training Bootcamp: The Bootcamp is next month, so the time to register is now.

The Fourth ASME Nano Training Bootcamp, to be held from July 10–14 at the Continuing Education Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, will feature hands-on instruction at a nano fabrication and characterization facility, plus an optional tour of a particle technology laboratory. The event is sponsored by Mechanical Engineering magazine, Small Times Media and Buchanan Ingersoll LLP, with support from the Minnesota High Tech Association and the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network.

The Bootcamp, which was developed for engineers, scientists, government leaders, attorneys, and R&D and marketing professionals, will offer attendees detailed and tutorial-based accounts of advances in the fundamentals of nanoscience in a variety of fields.

Sessions scheduled for the Nano Bootcamp include "Micro and Nano Fabrication," "Mesoscopic and Nanometer Scale Physics," "Scanning Probe Microscopy," "Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy," "A Discussion on IP Issues in Nanotech," and "Electronic Devices."

Other sessions will include "Introduction to Statistical Mechanics," "Thermal Properties of Materials," "Soft and Imprint Lithography," and "Thermoelectric Devices."

Registration for the Nano Bootcamp is $1,595 for members of ASME and participating professional societies and $1,995 for the general public. Members of government agencies may attend the Bootcamp for $995. Students may register for $595.
