This NSF/CONACyT research project seeks to address issues in the area of micro assembly, which will benefit American manufacturing organizations in a variety of domains. Micro devices, which possess different materials, or complex geometries, cannot utilize the widely available monolithic MEMS fabrication techniques. In such situations, assembly of micro devices becomes inevitable. The overall objective of this research is to investigate the modeling of gripping forces for micro assembly applications. In addition, the role of interactive forces coming into play during nano manipulation will also be studied. Educational modules targeting under graduate and graduate engineering students will also be created as part of this project. Specifically, the objectives are to: (a) Develop a taxonomy for gripper system configuration and design (b) Investigate the modeling of gripping forces and their effects on the geometry of components (b) Support educational activities through development of educational modules (targeting engineering students) as well as facilitate outreach efforts to school students in New Mexico.The educational activities proposed will introduce the next generation of industrial and manufacturing engineering students to cutting edge concepts addressed in this project. Sandia National Laboratories will be the industrial collaborator in this project; they will provide real world case studies and necessary knowledge, as well as play a role in validating the project findings.A focus in this project is the education of minority students at New Mexico State University (NMSU). Outreach activities involving school students and teachers will be conducted as part of the Soaring Eagle initiative at NMSU. This project will enhance the existing infrastructure at NMSU as well as highlight the usefulness of Internet2 for learning activities. Dissemination activities will include publishing papers in leading journals, through a project web site, as well as through paper presentations at conferences such as the annual American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) conferences.

这个NSF/CONACyT研究项目旨在解决微组装领域的问题，这将使美国制造组织在各个领域受益。微器件具有不同的材料，或复杂的几何形状，不能利用广泛可用的单片MEMS制造技术。在这种情况下，微型器件的组装成为不可避免的。本研究的总体目标是研究微装配应用中夹持力的建模。此外，还将研究纳米操纵过程中相互作用力的作用。针对本科生和研究生工程学生的教育模块也将作为该项目的一部分创建。具体而言，目标是：(a)制定夹具系统配置和设计的分类(b)调查夹持力的建模及其对部件几何形状的影响(b)通过开发教育模块（针对工程专业学生）支持教育活动，并促进向新墨西哥州学校学生的推广工作。建议的教育活动将向下一代工业和制造工程专业的学生介绍本项目所涉及的前沿概念。桑迪亚国家实验室将成为该项目的工业合作伙伴；他们将提供真实世界的案例研究和必要的知识，并在验证项目发现方面发挥作用。该项目的一个重点是新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）少数民族学生的教育。作为“飞鹰计划”的一部分，学校的学生和教师将参与到推广活动中来。这项计划将加强新密西根州立大学现有的基础设施，并突显第二代互联网在学习活动中的作用。传播活动将包括通过一个项目网站在主要期刊上发表论文，以及在诸如美国工程教育学会（ASEE）、美国机械工程师学会（ASME）和工业工程师学会（IIE）等年度会议上发表论文。
