This workshop is for Tribal Faculty only!

Workshop Description
The purpose of these workshops is to provide Tribal Faculty with an opportunity to review Engineering and Engineering Programs at SIPI as well as 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.

Experience creating an actual working micro-pressure sensor in a research cleanroom and bring this back to your classroom.
You are invited to attend the Tribal Engineering Technology Program Development and Pressure Sensor Cleanroom Workshop on Aug 9-13, 2010, offered by the SIPI and the Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) at the University of New Mexico.
SCME will pay your registration and lab fees and provide free educational material, total value over $2000. You will receive a $1200 scholarship after the workshop to defray the cost of your travel, lodging, meals and incidentals. APPLY NOW! Deadline is July 19. Registration is limited to the first 12 qualified applicants. See below for details.

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 9-13 (Monday through Friday) 8 AM to 5 PM.
Where: Albuquerque, NM at SIPI (Monday) and at UNM Manufacturing Training and Technology Center (MTTC) Tuesday-Friday.
Who: Taught by Dr. Nader Vadiee, Dean Pershal (SIPI) Dr. Matthias Pleil, Harold Madsen, Fabian Lopez, M.J. Willis, Barbara Lopez and others (UNM/CNM/SCME).
Why: Job growth in this field is accelerating. SCME wants to educate instructors about this exciting technology so that they can offer new career pathways to their students.
Cost: Free, sponsored by the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education program.
