Module Description: This learning module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), is an overview of the history of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). This resource provides "a timeline of the progression of microtechnology through a series of innovations that starts with the...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an "overview of three micromachining processes (bulk, surface, LIGA) used for the fabrication of microsystems or MEMS (microelectromechanical systems)." This module is divided into the following...

This learning activity will allow students the opportunity to observe long term corrosion of materials. The instructor will set up several jars or beakers filled with either fresh or salt water, and the class will observe the corrosion of nails, pennies and aluminum foil over time. This activity...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to "micelles and the concept of critical micelle concentration (CMC)." During the module learning activity students experiment with micelle formation using a surfactant and dye. ...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides students with "the opportunity to explore micro pressure sensors, their applications, development, fabrication, and operation." The module is divided into the following five units: Knowledge Probe...

Module Description: This learning module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), introduces participants to the microcantilever. The module covers microcantilever "applications in micro and nanotechnologies, its use in sensor arrays, and how it works in both static and dynamic modes...

This lab activity was created by SHINE: Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education and is designed to teach students about microfluidics. Lab resources include the Microfluidic Droplets Lab, safety data sheets, and an instructor guide. The 16-page lab includes a pre-lab assignment,...

This security monitor and control lab, provided by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, is intended to be a quick starting point for students to learn Assembly language using the Freescale Code Warrior development system. In this lab, "the onboard switches are used to simulate arm switch and...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to the "micropump, how it works and where it is used in microtechnology." The module contains information on micropumps, macropumps, the differences between mechanical and non-mechanical...

This experiment, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers Mixtures and Nanotechnology. The main idea of this module is to introduce the idea to students that the classification of mixtures is based on the size of particles. Students will also be prompted to connect two...
