MEMS, Nanotechnology and the Silicon Run Series

该项目是建立在硅运行系列电影的成功收集学生使用的材料的数据，与现有的纳米技术方案在两年制大学的工作，并计划未来生产一系列的微机电系统和纳米技术的电影。 该项目的智力价值是在迅速扩大的纳米技术领域，在许多科学和技术领域的应用。 更广泛的影响在于有可能接触到许多技术和工程项目的学生，以及该项目有意接触在技术领域代表性不足的妇女和少数民族。

The project is building on the success of the Silicon Run series of films to collect data on student use of the material, work with existing nanotechnology programs at 2-year colleges, and plan for future production of a series of films on micro-electro-mechanical systems and nanotechnology. The intellectual merit of the project is in the rapidly-expanding field of nanotechnology that has applications in many scientific and technical fields. The broader impact is in the potential to reach many students in technical and engineering programs, and in the project's deliberate outreach to women and minorities under-represented in technological fields.
