MEMS, Nanotechnology, and the Silicon Run Series

该项目正在制作三部新电影，将以DVD格式在1)MEMS--微电子机械系统、2)纳米技术I：导论和3)纳米技术II：制造工艺上发行。这些新电影延续了硅片系列的九部电影，这些电影已经成功地应用于技术人员教育。它们使学生和教职员工能够深入了解纳米世界中令人兴奋的新产品背后的制造过程和基础科学。这些电影通过让学生了解他们学术研究的基本情况来教育和激励他们。该项目正在向作为考试地点的社区大学和NSF少数族裔服务机构名单上的机构分发免费DVD副本。

This project is creating three new films to be distributed in the DVD format on 1) MEMS-Microelectromechanical Systems, 2) Nanotech I: An Introduction, and 3) Nanotech II: Manufacturing Processes. These new films continue the Silicon Run Series of nine films that have been used successfully in technician education. They enable students and faculty to get a view inside the manufacturing processes and basic science behind the exciting new products in the nano-world. The films educate and motivate students by giving them the big picture underlying their academic studies. The project is distributing free copies of the DVDs to community colleges serving as test sites and institutions on NSF's list of minority serving institutions.
