Course description and aims

1) The course introduces fabrication technology of MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) from the viewpoints of mechanical machining, lithography process and nano-technology.
2) Micromachines and micromechanisms are reviewed how they are applied to sensors, bio and chemical assay instruments and measurement systems.
3) The purpose of the course is laid on understanding of present bio-MEMS and cultivation of grounding for the future research and development of devices.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be expected to:
1) Understand technical terms in the interdisciplinary technical fields such as mechanical, electrical, life and material engneering.
2) Acquire the advanced knowledge to discuss with specialists in related technical fields.

Keywords
