Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) are ubiquitous in our daily lives and in every electronic systems that you interact with. This presentation will cover several devices and systems as well as an overview of current trends of the market. The need for skilled technicians and STEM workers will be clear and a catalyst for integrating MNT into your program. Plan […]

In this hands-on workshop, we will navigate the nanoHUB simulation environment together. You will learn how to set up your personal nanoHUB dashboard and interact with different simulation tool interfaces, including Jupyter notebooks. We will run nanoHUB simulation tools for visualizing crystal structures and biological molecules and learn how to find and bookmark self-paced lessons […]
Please join us for a more in-depth dive of select nanotechnology topics, including resources and tips on how to share these ideas with your students. This series consists of 16 self-contained topics split between March-April and September-October. Though targeted for undergraduate studies, off-line discussions may include ways to adapt to a variety of academic levels. […]
This hands-on tutorial will introduce users to the Gr-ResQ (‘graphene rescue’) platform. Gr-ResQ is (i) an open, crowd-sourced database of recipes and characterization of graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, (ii) a set of analysis tools that enable users to analyze the database, and (iii) an online cyber-physical manufacturing network that provides access to distributed […]

This session will highlight the journey of a MEMS researcher and how you can start in one area in MEMS and end up working in something completely different. It will highlight the diversity of knowledge that is necessary to work in the area of MEMS. Presenter: Nathan Jackson - University of New Mexico
Educators at all levels desire for their students to succeed. For Community College educators teaching technical education course success is often defined as “graduates getting jobs”. Achievement of this goal is often tied to having a direct correlation between the student outcomes from the courses in the program and the industry requirements for new hires […]
Dr. Daniel Lopez, Liang Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Penn State University The field of micromechanics is now a well-established engineering domain with a demonstrated impact on science, technology, and product development. At the core of this technology are movable mechanical structures, MEMS, with dimensions ranging from a few to 100’s microns, and […]
Dr. Peter D. Kazarinoff, co-PI of the MNT-EC (Micro Nano Technician Education Center) and Tara Nelson, faculty and department chair at Portland Community College presents a seminar on Grading for Equity. Community College faculty don’t usually think of grading when talking about equity. We will show how our traditional grading practices contribute to inequities in […]
It has long been said that at four-year institutions, faculty have to publish or perish; at two-year institutions that requirement is not as stringent but could be helpful to faculty progression. The MNT-EC Journal Working Group would like to help faculty at a two-year institution become more familiar on how to do research and write a journal article for publication. As […]
