General course information
BRIEF SUMMARY
The course is designed as a “hands-on” project course for students who would like to deepen their understanding of nano/microelectromachnical systems (NEMS/MEMS), by actively designing, fabricating and evaluating different microacuator concepts.
The course targets MSc level students, preferably with background in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Engineering Physics. Pre-knowledge in microsystems, nanotechnology, or semiconductor technology is advantageous for some course parts, for instance the fabrication, but not necessary at all. General understanding of physics, and curiosity for the application of physical effects on a micro/nano-scale, is the best starting point for designing your own moving microsystem!
This course is given annually, in the 2nd period of every autumn term at KTH (HT-P2; October to December).
FURTHER INFORMATION
Course participants: Typically, 20% of the students are PhD students. Under certain circumstances, PhD students may create and carry out their own task in the world of microsystem technology.
Results of previous course evaluation: During 2011, 14 students took the course, of which 4 were PhD students. Course evaluation results from 2011 (only given for MSc students): 30% of the students consider the course as among the top 10% of KTH's courses, and 70% of the students consider the course as among the top 25% of KTH's courses.
Course language: English.
Course coordinator: Assoc.-Prof. Joachim Oberhammer.

Course office for students: STEX (Osquldas väg 10, ground floor).
The course consists of three introductory lectures (there the dates for the lectures 2 and 3 will be decided at the first meeting) followed by the course work, which is framed by weekly progress meetings with the course responsible and his teaching assistants.
For any questions, in particular on the suitability of your background to the course, please contact the course responsible.
