The purpose of these workshops is to provide an opportunity to learn how to integrate Microsystems Technology into STEM curriculum. You will learn how to use select SCME’s kits in the classroom and be provided hands-on experience on the process steps for fabricating a MEMS micro-pressure sensor in a research cleanroom.
Each participant will actively complete the following SCME kits:
Crytallography, Rainbow Wafer, Pressure Sensor Model, Lift-off, Pressure Sensor Process, MEMS: Making Micro Machines, MEMS Innovators
Cleanroom activities:
PS Activity 1: Plasma Etch and resist strip, PS Activity 2: Frontside Lithography and Metal Deposition, PS Activity 3: Test and Probe

When: August 10th - 13th, 2010
Where: UNM Manufacturing Training and Technology Center
Who: Taught by Dr. Matthias Pleil, Harold Madsen, Fabian Lopez, M.J. Willis, Barbara Lopez and others
Why: Job growth in this field is accelerating. SCME wants to educate teachers about this exciting technology so that they can offer new career pathways to their students.
Cost: Free, sponsored by the National Science Foundation
Certificate awarded for 8 hours of professional development
