Abstract: Major Issues for developing an Undergraduate Program in Nanotechnology are hereby described. Nanotechnology Courses are designed so that students may apply the Nanosciences, Biotechnology and Information Sciences convergence model to develop new materials and applications Nanotechnology. Infrastructure and Human Resources turn out to be crucial for establishing a successful Nanotechnology Undergraduate Program. Several Mexican National Nanotechnology Labs will be cooperating for student internships and students may continue doing postgraduate studies at those centers of research. Societal and Environmental impacts of Nanotechnology are also addressed in the Undergraduate Program in Nanotechnology proposed in this article. Women participation is expected, considering recent statistics of women participation in undergraduate engineering programs related to Nanotechnology. Mexican government has been funding to the federal and state level the university where this pr!
ogram will be launched, as part of a national effort to provide universities all along the Mexican territory.
