Overview of class
MEMS and Nanotechnology have attracted significant attention in the engineering, chemistry, and biology communities. An important component of this development is experimentation with the ability to manipulate and interrogate matter at small scales. ME 382 is a course designed to train students in this area.
The course consists of a series of laboratories including microfluidics experiments, electro-mechanical testing of microdevices, transport and deposition of biomolecules, nanolithography, and surface fractal analysis. The course is one of the few lab courses offered at NU in which students make extensive use of clean room facilities.
