- Section Title:
- Modern Microsystems
- Section Info:
- From wristwatches and smartphones to hyperscale data centers and satellites, microsystems quietly power many of today’s most important technologies. This course explores the MEMS and photonic devices behind modern inertial navigation, timekeeping, networking, and signal processing systems. Students will learn how these devices work, how they are fabricated, and what fundamentally limits their performance, with emphasis on transduction, signal vs noise, and real-world engineering tradeoffs. Contemporary case studies and research papers will connect foundational concepts to cutting-edge technologies and applications. The course is well suited for advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in multidisciplinary mechanical and electrical engineering, applied physics, micro/nanofabrication and semiconductor technologies, and related fields. Strongly recommended: Basic dynamics (e.g. mass-spring-damper systems, ME340 or equivalent). Fourier analysis (e.g. basics of signal filtering and processing, ME360 or equivalent). Analog circuits (e.g. up to frequency response and Laplace analysis, ECE 211 or equivalent) Suggested companion material: Fundamentals of microfabrication (ME 487 or ECE 444)

- Section Title:
- Laser 3D Printing
- Section Info:
- The course addresses laser powder bed fusion (LPBD) 3D printing technology. The LPBF is an additive manufacturing (AM) process where a laser fuses particulate materials such as metals, polymers, or ceramics. The course includes an overview of the LPBD method, data preparation workflow, AM process chain, AM parameters-microstructure-property relations, post-processing, and case studies. EOS company will offer a summer internship to a top student in the class.

- Section Title:
- Mech. Des. Optimization
- Section Info:
- PREREQUISITES: MATH 257 (or equivalent), TAM 251 (or equivalent) and familiarity with programming (Python/Matlab) . This course is intended to introduce the basic concepts of design optimization with applications from multiple industries. The course begins with a brief summary of numerical optimization and examples using parametric design and sizing optimization. Then the finite element method is introduced for use in topology optimization. These tools are then used to optimize structures and mechanisms to demonstrate a reduction in material usage, improved product performance and shorter design cycles compared to heuristic/iterative design. The course includes assignments in the form of design challenges and a final project in which students will optimize an original design.
