MEMS Education Workshop. The Workshop will be held in Tucson, AR on January 13, 2008.

目的：本提案的目的是为MEMS教育研讨会申请资金。哪一场将于2008年1月13日在亚利桑那州图森市举行？本次研讨会将在国际MEMS 2008会议之前举行，为广泛的国际参与提供了一个理想和方便的场所。这笔资金将用于增加学生和初级教师对本次研讨会的参与。在本次研讨会中，与会者将在来自美国、欧洲和亚洲的国际学术和工业参与者中分享和讨论最佳MEMS教育实践。研讨会将在各个层面传播MEMS教育实践，讨论有效培养学生未来劳动力的课程，并跨越跨学科和国际障碍分享信息。虽然教育系统在国际上是根本不同的，但美国的项目需要培养学生在全球劳动力中具有竞争力，从不同群体的与会者那里获得的观点将促进创新和有效方法的发展，以在全球范围内教授MEMS。更广泛的影响本次研讨会将对整个国际MEMS社区和工程教育产生广泛的影响。讲习班所获得的知识和分享的经验将以电子方式收集，并通过一个网站广泛传播。受益于这些建议和改进的教学和培训，学生将为MEMS研究和MEMS相关的职业做好更好的准备。此外，有效的教育改进将有助于催生创新并创造突破性的MEMS技术，从而使整个社会受益

Objective: The objective of this proposal is to request funding MEMS Education Workshop. Which will be held in Tucson, AR on January 13, 2008? This workshop will precede the International MEMS 2008 Conference, which provides an ideal and convenient venue for broad international participation. The funding is to be used for increasing the participation of students and junior faculty in this workshop. In this workshop the attendees will share and discuss best MEMS educational practices amongst an international group of academic and industrial participants from the US, Europe, and Asia. Intellectual MeritThe workshop will disseminate MEMS educational practices at all levels, will discuss curricula that effectively prepare students for the future workforce, and share information across interdisciplinary and international barriers. While the educational systems are fundamentally different internationally, US programs need to train students to be competitive in the global workforce and the perspectives gained from the diverse group of attendees will facilitate the development of creative and effective ways to teach MEMS globally. Broader ImpactThe workshop will have broad impact for the entire international MEMS community and for engineering education. The knowledge gained and experiences shared from the workshop will be captured electronically and broadly disseminated via a website. Benefiting from the recommendations and improved teaching and training, students will be better prepared for both MEMS research and MEMS-focused careers. In addition, effective educational improvement will help spawn innovations and create ground breaking MEMS technologies, and hence benefit the society at large
