Several factors contribute to the skill mismatch in nanotechnology:
Rapid Technological Advances: The pace of innovation in nanotechnology often outstrips the ability of educational institutions to update their curricula. This creates a lag in the availability of skilled professionals. Interdisciplinary Nature: The field demands knowledge across multiple disciplines. However, traditional education systems are often siloed, making it difficult for students to acquire the broad skill set needed. Lack of Industry-Academia Collaboration: Insufficient collaboration between academia and industry can result in a curriculum that does not meet the current demands of the market.
