Program Mission

  • The objective of the NMT program is to develop the

knowledge base necessary for the manufacture of any micro- and nano-scale product.

  • A major focus is solving problems and projects in a

professional manor.

  • The students must be familiar with the materials,

processing equipment, characterization equipment, engineering strategy, scale, cost, and group problem solving techniques. If these goals are met, graduates are prepared for many career paths in nanofabrication.

Program Mission

  • To integrate the diverse skills necessary for

nanofabrication, students regularly analyze cost effective engineering design strategies for nanoscale products.

  • Students are in lab for half of the contact hours
  • By integrating the diverse lectures, labs and projects,

the students can be productive in many disciplines.

Logistics / Schedule

  • The students split their time in three distinct areas

for 18 credit hours, (16 weeks, 6+ hours per day)

  • Lab activities occur either in the morning or

afternoon and are approximately 3 hours in duration

– Lab time includes experiments, system demos, and

  • training. All labs have pre-lab quizzes, homework

questions, and addition references on the specific technology

  • Lecture everyday from noon – 3:00
  • Homework, research projects

Key Technology

  • ESci 211/212

– These 2 courses provide an overview of the materials, safety, equipment, and processing sequences involved in “top down” and “bottom up” and hybrid nanofabrication – Safety, cleanroom protocol, contamination, vacuum technology, self assembly, process system design, materials, etch systems, deposition systems, cost of ownership, process flow for nanofabricated devices

Key Technology

  • ESci 213/214

– Pattern generation, and material applications – Hands-on experience with colloidal chemistry, plasma etch and plasma deposition, and lithography techniques – Group research project on an unique subset of nanofabrication

Key Technology

  • ESci 215/216

– Specific material properties and processes will be examined for their contribution to the field of composites, biotechnology, and energy applications – Characterization system design, and characterization techniques – Final design project on a specific product

  • This allows students to integrate and review

the technology

Projects

  • One of the first questions from an industry partner

is; “Do they work in groups?”

  • The first project (211/212) is a short review paper
  • This project allows the students to meet, and

function in group problem solving. This project takes the least amount of time because the students are learning the critical basics

  • At this time, the students are building a technical

foundation, so this is the least intensive project

Projects

  • The second project (213/214) is a randomly

assigned.

  • Typical topics are:

– Microfluidic channel physics, optical coatings, characterization equipment, colloids/self assembly, materials for data storage, purchase of process equipment, FESEM analysis, etc…………

Projects

  • The 213/214 project allows students to analyze a

technical problem, develop group skills, and presentation format

  • The students are required to give a power point

presentation that is graded by their peers, they grade group members, and the written report is graded by the instructor

  • A key issue is the students ability to undertake

diverse topics with success. This instill confidence to tackle any nanofabrication project

SLIDE 16

16

Projects

  • The final project is a design project that integrates

the labs experiences to develop a unique device

  • This allows the students to review completed labs.
  • Grading is done similarly to the second project
  • Currently the goal is to create a simulation of all the

process steps to create a DNA PCR chip, prosthetic device, hydrogen fuel cell, nano-sensors, or a PV cell

  • This project is the part of the “final exam” for

215/216

Projects

  • To complete the final project, students satisfy the

goal of the program

  • The teams must be well versed in common

nanofabrication materials, processing equipment, characterization equipment, engineering strategy, scale, cost, and group problem solving techniques. This hands on view of the nanofabrication work environment allows graduates appreciate specific career paths

  • This set of integrated tasks and projects assures the

program goal is met
