Complex oxides are becoming engrained into modern technology. Understanding the growth and properties of these materials is extremely important for development of novel devices and optimization of existing technologies. Control of the growth of thin film oxides is essential to facilitate the fine-tuning of properties needed for device optimization. In this article, some recent advances in nanoscale engineering of functional oxides are summarized. Control of film structure through manipulation of growth kinetics and substrate considerations is discussed. The construction of composites and artificial materials is also considered. Furthermore, a future outlook is investigated including a route to industrial scale application
