COURSE/CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

• Developed a new graduate course: ECE 802-602-Introduction to BioMEMS (Special Topic) in 2010.

Course introduces students to biomedical micro-electro-mechanical systems (BioMEMS) and

microtechnologies in building medical microdevices.

• Modified “Introduction to BioMEMS” into “ECE 802-603: BioMEMS and Microfluidics” (Special Topic)

in 2013 by incorporating microfluidics components in the lectures.


• Co-proposed and merged “ECE 477-Microelectronic Fabrication” and “ECE 802 -Clearnroom

Procedure” into a joint course. The combined course offers new materials and microfabrication

projects for students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Students have had opportunities to

learn the monolithic fabrication of discrete resistors, CMOS capacitors, transistors, diode, and photo

diodes using the cleanroom facilities in the ECE teaching lab.
