This workshop cover topics related to MEMS pressure sensors. Topics include simple series and parallel electronic circuits, the series-parallel Wheatstone bridge circuit, strain gauges, how a MEMS pressure sensor works, its applications, and how it is fabricated. Activities include measuring resistance, voltage and current, comparing the resistivity characteristic of various materials, building a macro-sized pressure sensor, and testing your pressure sensor for changes in applied pressures. This workshop uses SCME's Pressure Sensor model kit to provide hands-on learning of many of these activities.

Class size is limited.
