Nsf/nasa-gsfc Mems Education Workshop Outcomes

Year: 2006
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The first North American workshop on MEMS Education was held on January 30, 2005 in Miami, Florida before the MEMS 2005 conference.The purpose of the workshop was to gather a diverse audience including MEMS academics, professionals from MEMS industry, leaders from MEMS-relevant U.S. government agencies, as well as current students.Goals included: identifying 'best practices' to share across organizations teaching MEMS courses; identifying cross-cutting issues and a set of recommendations to sponsor organizations for investment in MEMS educational development; and establishing an open dialog on these issues for continued interactions.Challenges identified include: developing a curriculum meeting needs of students seeking to be educated in this field; suitably spanning the broad interdisciplinary space covered by MEMS; and creating a technically prepared workforce.
