Winter Quarter 2025: Engr. 240: Introduction to Micro and Nano
Electromechanical Systems (with Olav Solgaard)
Miniaturization technologies now have important roles in
materials, mechanical, and biomedical engineering practice, in
addition to being the foundation for information technology. This
course will target an audience of first-year engineering graduate
students and motivated senior-level undergraduates, with the goal
of providing an introduction to M/NEMS fabrication techniques,
selected device applications, and the design tradeoffs in
developing systems. Principles are reinforced by two laboratory
experiments on an accelerometer and laser scanner fabricated from
printed-circuit boards. The course has no specific prerequisites,
other than graduate or senior standing in engineering; otherwise,
students will require permission of the instructors. Offered on
