Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to present a research and education network that will help the academic community of the America´s region to improve their device-processing skills and characterization via ISTEC´s micro/nano systems mobile training program, (MTP). This hands-on program is designed to eliminate the barriers between engineering students and advanced-equipped research facilities. ISTEC´s MTP will have a significant impact on clean-room operation and the processing capability of our teaching/research community. A mobile micro/nano system laboratory is proposed as the key idea in order to support this novel program. More importantly, it is expected that faculty and students with access to the network will be better prepared for the work force
