This workshop covers a variety of topics ranging from the history of weights and measures to the applications of weights and measures in microtechnology. Activities include methods for converting from one unit to another, and one measurement system to another. Participants apply this method to a variety of microtechnology applications (e.g., inkjet printers, gold metallization fabrication). Other activities include creating illustrations and logarithmic scales of objects that range from the macro-scale to the nano-scale. Participants also have the opportunity to view a variety of objects using a virtual scanning electron microscope.

Class size is limited.
