Abstract :
We have developed a two-course sequence in MEMS for undergraduate students at Rose-Hulman. The second course in this two-course MEMS sequence - and the focus of this WIP - has an integral term-length laboratory project. The study of MEMS provides a rich environment in which to provide students with truly interdisciplinary work and to present them with design problems having real constraints. Challenges include faculty coordination in these team-taught courses and delivering educational materials to a relatively disparate student audience.
