Abstract
Given the potential limitations facing CMOS, there has been an influx of work and research in various nano-scale devices. Most of the work related to nanotechnology has been done strictly with devices, with little attention given to circuits or architectures of them -- the desired end result. In the past, these studies have usually lagged device development by many years. However, we propose a curriculum to help integrate the communities -- device physicists and computer architects -- earlier. One goal of such a curriculum would be to teach students how to generate a Mead/Conway methodology for a given nanotechnology. This would teach students not only how to help technology change and evolve, but eventually teach students how to adapt to changes after a technology evolution. Another goal would be to facilitate more (and earlier) interaction between device physicists and computer architects to prevent these two groups from developing diverging views of what is physically and computationally possible in a system of nano-scale devices.
