GENENG 4000 1-3 credits Research in Microsystems and Nanotechnology

Students will learn research methods applied to microsystems and nanotechnology, including the use of scientific literature and the evaluation of data. Research projects may be interdisciplinary, involving aspects of biology, chemistry, physics and engineering, and they may involve experiments and/or modeling and simulation. Results will be presented in a final report. This course is required for the minor in Microsystems and Nanotechnology.

Components: Lecture

GENENG 4230 3 credits Design and Simulation of MEMS

This course is structured to give students the tools to design, digitally fabricate and simulate reliable MEMS devices. It will include in-depth study of mechanics and microelectronics concepts and how to couple them to design functioning MEMS. Since MEMS are fabricated using brittle materials, probabilistic design concepts are introduced. Students will understand failure modes in MEMS and how to design for reliability. FEA software is used to simulate and probabilistically design MEMS. Students will also learn how to digitally fabricate MEMS using CAD based design layout and visualization software.

Components: Lecture
