§ ME 419/519, NSMS 519- Introduction to MEMS

This course is a Senior Undergraduate/Graduate level course that introduces the students to MEMS and NEMS. The course is on the physical theory, design, analysis, fabrication, and characterization of MEMS. The main objective of the course is to teach the students both theory and hands on experience in microfabrication, through both lectures and lab assignments.

§ ME 318- Experimental Measurements

The course is a Sophomore level undergraduate course that focuses on experimental measurement techniques utilized in mechanical engineering. The course includes both theory and hands on practical lab experience. The course focuses on experimental design of stress/strain, displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, thermophysical properties of materials, and fluid mechanics. The course also introduces students to statistical analysis and design of experiments, as well as report writing and error analysis.
