Engineering Other -(59)Microfluidics is a branch of physics and biotechnology that studies the behavior of fluids at the microscale and the design of Micro-Electronic Mechanical Systems (MEMS) that takes advantage of such behavior. Fluids on these small scales behave differently than do fluids at the macro-level because factors such as surface tension, energy dissipation, inertia, and electrokinetics begin to predominate. The objective of this project is to adapt and implement an undergraduate course on microfluidics at partnering institutions. The course consists of inquiry-based modules supplemented with lectures and reading materials employing educational uses of technology exploring the latest research in microfluidics. The courses will be offered in a variety of engineering programs including the electrical, mechanical, and biomedical disciplines. Students are collaborating on a group project that follows the full-cycle microfluidic system design approach. The course materials are being compiled to produce a textbook on microfluidic theory and practice that is suitable for undergraduate instruction. In addition to the textbook, the results from this project will be disseminated through several engineering education venues.

工程其他 -(59)微流体学是物理学和生物技术的一个分支，研究微尺度流体的行为以及利用这种行为的微电子机械系统 (MEMS) 的设计。小尺度上的流体与宏观上的流体表现不同，因为表面张力、能量耗散、惯性和动电学等因素开始占主导地位。该项目的目标是在合作机构调整和实施微流体学本科课程。 该课程由基于探究的模块组成，辅以讲座和阅读材料，采用技术的教育用途探索微流体的最新研究。这些课程将在各种工程项目中提供，包括电气、机械和生物医学学科。学生们正在合作开展一个遵循全周期微流体系统设计方法的小组项目。课程材料正在编写中，以制作适合本科教学的微流体理论和实践教科书。除了教科书外，该项目的成果还将通过多个工程教育场所传播。
