9701513 Galipeau This project is a four-year early career development plan that integrates microsensor research with educational activities in microelectronic devices, sensors and materials. The goals of this plan are to significantly strengthen the research and educational programs in microsensors at South Dakota State University. This will be done by expanding current research into new and interdisciplinary areas, integrating this research into undergraduate and graduate curriculums, and significantly increasing the design component of courses being taught in the microelectronic devices and materials areas. Four areas that are important to chemical sensor development will be the primary focus: The development of a novel technique for measuring the effects of surface properties on sensor response and sensing film adhesion; The development of novel bio-sensors for the detection of airborne endotoxins; The optimization of hazardous gas sensors; and The characterization of electronic polymer films. The novel technique for measuring surface properties is of high importance in the sensor area and also has wide applicatiols in the fields of biomaterials, microelectronics and adhesives, therefore it will be the prime focus area of the scientific part of this plan. The three remaining areas involve the application of sensing science and form the engineering design part of this plan. The activities described in this proposal are expected to advance sensing science, engineering, and education. The science will be advanced by providing a new method for surface characterization that has high sensitivity to surface free energy, wettability, and contamination, and high degrees of correlation with biological interactions. This work is also expected to provide a better understanding of the gas sorption processes in chemical sensing and aid in the optimization of thin films used as chemical sensing elements. Other important applications in microelectronics include the analysis of surface treatments designed to improve film adhesion and the attachment of analities to a sensor surface and measurements of surface cleanliness prior to encapsulation. Important applications in biomaterials include: insuring surface reproducibility in biomaterial investigations and commercial medical devices, establishing correlations between surface tension of materials and biocompatability, and bioadhesion. Engineering design will be advanced by new chemical sensor designs and applications that will be investigated. The proposed educational activities will advance engineering education by providing instructional and research opportunities in microsensors. In addition, a comprehensive program which is designed to better prepare students for the workplace, reduce student attrition, and encourage students to pursue graduate studies is proposed. The activities include incorporating significant engineering design components in all courses with an emphasis on microsensors; integration of industrial, cross disciplinary, and research activities into the curriculum; laboratory development; the incorporation of new ideas in learning styles and assessment in the classroom; and by outreach activities directed toward underrepresented groups. ***

9701513 Galipeau这个项目是一个为期四年的早期职业发展计划，将微传感器研究与微电子设备、传感器和材料的教育活动相结合。该计划的目标是显著加强南达科他州立大学微传感器的研究和教育项目。这将通过将目前的研究扩展到新的跨学科领域，将这项研究纳入本科和研究生课程，并显着增加微电子设备和材料领域所教授课程的设计部分来实现。对化学传感器发展至关重要的四个领域将是主要焦点：开发一种用于测量表面特性对传感器响应和传感膜粘附性影响的新技术；新型空气中内毒素检测生物传感器的研制有害气体传感器的优化；电子聚合物薄膜的表征。这种测量表面性质的新技术在传感器领域具有重要意义，在生物材料、微电子和粘合剂领域也有广泛的应用，因此它将是该计划科学部分的主要重点领域。剩下的三个领域涉及传感科学的应用，构成了本计划的工程设计部分。本提案中描述的活动有望促进传感科学、工程和教育。通过提供一种对表面自由能、润湿性和污染高度敏感，并与生物相互作用高度相关的表面表征新方法，科学将得到推进。这项工作也有望为更好地理解化学传感中的气体吸收过程提供帮助，并有助于优化用作化学传感元件的薄膜。在微电子领域的其他重要应用包括分析表面处理，旨在改善薄膜的附着力和传感器表面的附着，以及封装前表面清洁度的测量。生物材料的重要应用包括：确保生物材料研究和商业医疗设备中的表面可重复性，建立材料表面张力与生物相容性和生物粘附之间的相关性。工程设计将通过新的化学传感器的设计和应用进行研究。拟议的教育活动将通过提供微传感器的教学和研究机会来推进工程教育。此外，还提出了一项综合计划，旨在使学生更好地为工作做好准备，减少学生流失，并鼓励学生攻读研究生课程。这些活动包括在所有课程中纳入重要的工程设计组成部分，重点是微传感器；将工业、跨学科和研究活动整合到课程中；实验室发展;在课堂学习方式和评估中纳入新思想；通过针对弱势群体的外展活动。＊＊＊
