CREATE-MICROSYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES & APPLICATION (MTA)

NSERC工业流程Create-微系统技术与应用(MTA)培训计划旨在满足微系统技术创新和熟练劳动力的需求，以满足全球市场的快速增长。微系统技术是将电子集成电路和额外的非电子元件结合在单一衬底上的微米和纳米级器件。虽然单个微系统和基于传统材料(如硅、玻璃、热塑性塑料)的微系统的制造在过去几年中有了显著的进步，但在具有成本效益的微系统的制造、集成和现场部署及其在地球/环境/空间监测和医疗诊断中的应用方面仍然存在差距。结合微系统创新的这种需求，我们的行业合作伙伴已经确定了一个关键的培训瓶颈：HQP没有无缝过渡到行业，而是需要大约两年的时间来培训具有所需技能的新工程师。由约克地球与空间科学研究中心(CRESS)主办的MTA由11名多学科研究人员组成的多元化团队正在与多部门合作伙伴(学术、微制造设施、工业、政府和国际)合作--CREATE-MTA计划将通过培训下一代高技能工程师和科学家，直接解决这些部门的这一关键人力资源缺口。MTA的跨学科研究、专业和协作培训计划将向学员提供13个培训部分。作为一个整体，这些课程旨在为空间、工程和生物医学应用提供设计和优化微系统的可转让技能，不仅是为了成功地过渡到劳动力，而且也是为了满足加拿大快速增长的微制造和微系统部门的需求。

The NSERC industrial stream CREATE-Microsystems Technologies & Application (MTA) training program aims to address the need for innovation in microsystems technologies and the skilled workforce to fill the rapid growth in the global market. Microsystems technologies are micro and nano-scale devices that combine electronic integrated circuits with additional non-electronic components on a single substrate. While manufacturing of individual microsystems and those based on conventional materials (e.g., silicon, glass, thermoplastics) have advanced significantly in the last few years, gaps still exist in cost-effective manufacturing, integration and field deployment of microsystems, and their applications in earth/environment/space monitoring and medical diagnosis. Combined with this need for microsystems innovation, our industry partners have identified a critical training bottleneck: HQP are not transitioning seamlessly into industry and instead it takes about two years to train incoming engineers with the needed skills. Hosted by York's Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science (CRESS), MTA's diverse team of 11 multidisciplinary researchers are collaborating with multi sectoral partners (academic, microfabrication facilities, industrial, government and international) CREATE-MTA program will directly address this critical human resource gap in these sectors by training the next generation of highly skilled engineers and scientists. MTA's interdisciplinary research, professional and collaboration training program will deliver 13 training components to trainees. As a whole, these are designed to provide transferrable skills for designing and optimizing microsystems for space, engineering and biomedical applications, not only to transition successfully to the workforce but also to meet the needs of the fast-growing microfabrication and microsystems sectors in Canada.
