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.
