Overview Schedule December 6 - Offsite Events December 8 - Panels December 8 - Breakouts Speakers Sponsored By:	Schedule - December 6 - Offsite Events Albany Nanotech UAlbany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) is the first college in the world dedicated to research, development, education, and deployment in the emerging disciplines of nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience, and nanoeconomics. In May 2007, it was ranked as the world's number one college for nanotechnology and microtechnology in the Annual College Ranking by Small Times magazine. CNSE's Albany NanoTech complex is the most advanced research facility of its kind at any university in the world: a $4.2 billion, 450,000-square-foot complex that attracts corporate partners from around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind academic experience. The UAlbany NanoCollege houses the only fully-integrated, 300mm wafer, computer chip pilot prototyping and demonstration line within 65,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms. More than 1,800 scientists, researchers, engineers, students, and faculty work on site at CNSE's Albany NanoTech complex, including IBM, AMD, SONY, Toshiba, Qimonda, Honeywell, ASML, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, and Freescale. An expansion currently underway will increase the size of CNSE's Albany NanoTech complex to over 750,000 square feet, including over 80,000 square feet of Class 1 cleanroom space, to house over 2,000 scientists, researchers, engineers, students, and faculty by the end of 2008.

The purpose of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy is to ensure that individuals are available to the nation as shipboard officers and as leaders in the transportation field who will meet the challenges of the present and the future. The Regiment of Midshipmen includes some 950 men and women from virtually every state and several foreign nations. The compact student body size ensures close contact between midshipmen and expert faculty as students pursue studies in engineering, marine transportation, mathematics and science, humanities, naval science and physical education. Engineering Department’s Research Vision The USMMA’s Engineering Department participates in the exploration of maritime energy and environmental challenges to support the advancement, innovation and enhance the esteem of the Maritime Industry. Further, it provides world class expertise to study cutting edge technology for the improvement of energy sources, conversion and propulsion methods and environmental issues related to the Maritime Industry. The department fosters academic excellence at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy by engaging interested midshipmen, faculty members, government officials, and industry experts in its activities. Research Mission The Engineering Department studies issues related to available and new prime movers for ship powering and propulsion; alternative energy sources and systems for ship powering, propulsion and non-hydrocarbon fuel production as well as alternative hydrocarbon fuels for ship powering and propulsion; technologies and system for reducing air emissions and water pollution. In addition, the department develops relationships with other institutions both domestic and foreign to study global maritime energy and environmental issues, conduct joint research, and arrange scholarly and student exchange programs. Furthermore, the department is a platform for the Kings Point Scholar Program for Midshipmen to acquire applied research skills, broaden their professional views, and interact with faculty members to achieve a more mature understanding of maritime energy and environmental issues to enrich their academic experience. 11:30 pm - 12:00 pm Overview of Kings Point 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm Lunch at Topsider 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm Tour of Solar Hydrogen Home 1:45 pm - 2:30 pm Tour of Engineering Laboratories including overview of Ammonia as a Hydrogen Carrier project 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm Closing Remarks and Discussion	Sponsored By:
