MICROROBOTICS

ECE/ME 439

Hands-on introduction to key concepts and tools underpinning robotic systems in use and development today. Intended to give students the tools to understand robotic systems, to explore robotics for their own purposes, and to pursue advanced study in the field. Students are expected to have familiarity with a high level programming language such as Python (recommended), MATLAB, Java or Julia.

MS&E 333

Integration of materials science theory and materials engineering practice as applied to the processing of materials at the microscopic level.

BME 550

Introduction to the field of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems), as it applies to biology and medicine. Topics will cover methodology of traditional MEMS devices, how they can be incorporated with biological systems, and methods for micro-structuring biological materials.

ECE 542

Introduction to MEMS technology, devices and systems. Fundamentals of MEMS in fabrication, process integration, material mechanics of MEMS structures, sensors and actuators. Main topics in MEMS - microfluidics, optical MEMS, RF MEMS, BioMEMS, packaging, and CAD.

EMA/EP 615

An introduction to micro- and nanoscale science and engineering with a focus on the role of mechanics. A variety of micro- and nanoscale phenomena and applications covered, drawing connections to both established and new mechanics approaches.
