Short course on MICROSYSTEMS: Mechanical, Chemical, Optical
29 Jul. - 2 Aug. 96, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass.

This course addresses MEMS from several points of view: (1) microsensors and
microactuators as components of microsystems, (2) microfabrication technologies
and (3) device packaging. A set of real case studies are used to demonstrate
the subject matter and the various interrelated constraints on technology and
device design. Advanced CAD tools (the MIT MEMCAD system) are used to
illustrate selected examples. For more information, please see:
