Implementation of a multidisciplinary introduction to microfabrication at Binghamton University

Microfabrication is a critical area to many branches of science and engineering. Beginning in 2009, we undertook a broad multidisciplinary approach to bring microfabrication into all aspects of the science and engineering curriculum. This program was coupled with a comprehensive assessment activity to evaluate the program´s effectiveness and continuously improve it year to year. In this paper, we report on the details of our implementation process, the techniques we have found to bring a hands-on experience to large classes and the lessons learned from our attempts to make this topic a mainstream part of engineering and science education.
