[mems-talk] Just starting out in MEMS

[A.E.Reinhardt]

Dear Jose,

if you are now coming from strong mathematical background, continue latest
modeling/simulations but integrate something
e.g. chemical science (nano materials used in mems incl. 3D self
organisation)

If our future is nanoelectronics it will be a chemical based future
-and at the same side to visualize what we research via simulation will be
more imprortant too

Good luck
-and of course FUN

Best regards
Andrea
p.s. don't forget to look into some realy old books
just to be aware that "building up particle by particle" not a modern idea

Subject: [mems-talk] Just starting out in MEMS

Hi,

  I'm new to MEMS.  I currently have a BS in Mathematical Science and 
I've taken some Mech. Engr classes like strength of materials and 
dynamics and plan on getting another BS in Mech. Eng.

I'm hoping that some of you can point me in the right direction. I think 
that I'd like to do simulations and modeling of mems/nems.  What classes 
would you recommend?  It seems this forum is mostly about fabrication.
Where would you suggest I start with that?

Any advice would help.

Thanks.
