  • Abstract
    We have developed an innovative MEMS education program that combines virtual fabrication with actual testing of classic MEMS devices. This approach is suitable both for large classes and in university environments that do not have access to large fabrication facilities. Under NSF funding, we are currently refining the curriculum to allow the course to be easily adopted by other schools.
