This workshop covers a variety of topics related to MEMS Cantilevers. Topics include applications, fabrication, and operation. The workshop activities allow the participants to analyze both the static and dynamic modes of cantilever operations. Participants simulate a cantilever's operation under various "loads" (different masses). Cantilevers with different lengths, widths, thicknesses and of different materials are used to illustrate how these cantilever characteristics affect its operation. The SCME Dynamic Cantilever Kit is used to support these activities.

Class size is limited.
