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