Where a nanoengineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a nanoengineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Nanoengineers combine the scientific knowledge of atomic and molecular particles with engineering principles for applications in a varied array of fields. They apply findings in chemistry, biology, and materials engineering, etc. They use technological knowledge for the improvement of existing applications or the creation of micro objects.

Fig. 2 — the 5 nearest destinations from nanoengineer. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a nanoengineer already covers. All 5 are listed in the tables below.
  • 70% and above · short step
  • 50 to 70% · real move
  • Below 50% · substantial retraining

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a nanoengineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
