Microsystems Technology

3 Units

This course provides an overarching coverage of microsystems technology, which is rooted in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). It covers the convergence of sensors and actuators, with wireless communications, computing and (social) networks. Microsystems incorporate sensors and actuators to interface computing with its physical environment-enabling perception and control. Microsystems are key enablers of smartphones, wearables, drones, robots, cars, aircrafts, weapons, etc. Recommended preparation: ECSE 322 .
