Integrating Micro/Nanofluidics in the Undergraduate Electrical Engineering Curriculum

工程-电气（55）这个项目是暴露本科生的微/纳米流体的迅速崛起的领域，并为他们提供一个综合的学习经验，跨越传统的课程界限。 主题包括压力驱动的微流，电渗微流，混合和扩散的微米和纳米尺度，制造的微/纳米通道，器件封装，和荧光流动特性。 本课程建立在一个成功的试点项目，本科高年级学生的合作团队遵循了一个典型的迭代微系统设计周期，从概念创建到仿真，制造和测试。 实验室教程通过视频屏幕捕捉动画，由讲师讲述，并以CD/DVD格式分发。 评价是作为项目和评价小组之间的一项共同努力进行的，目的是评估进程并确定项目取得的进展。 另有两所院校正积极参与课程和实验室的发展，以方便其所属院校日后采用有关教材。

Engineering - Electrical (55)This project is exposing undergraduate students to the rapidly emerging field of micro/nanofluidics and providing them with an integrated learning experience that cuts across traditional course boundaries. Topics include pressure driven microflows, electroosmotic microflows, mixing and diffusion on micro- and nanoscale, fabrication of micro/nanochannels, device packaging, and fluorescent flow characterization. This course builds on a successful pilot project where a collaborative team of undergraduate senior students followed a typical iterative microsystem design cycle from concept creation to simulation, fabrication, and testing. The laboratory tutorials are animated by video screen capture, narrated by the instructor, and distributed in CD/DVD format. Evaluation is performed as a joint effort between the project and evaluation teams to assess the process and identify progress made in the project. Two other institutions are actively involved in the course and laboratory development to facilitate future adoption of the materials by their respective institutions.
