Laboratory Overview

The
Micro Instrumentation Laboratory is an integrated set of research
and instructional laboratories dedicated to the development of micro
scale instrumentation systems. The Micro Instrumentation Laboratory
is under the direction of Dr. A. Bruno Frazier. The laboratory consists
of 5 processing / testing bays dedicated to different purposes.
Currently, there are between 15 and 20 students (graduate and undergraduate)
working in the Micro Instrumentation Research Laboratory. The students
have a mixed technical background, including electrical engineering,
bioengineering, biology, mechanical engineering, materials science,
and physics. The projects are as varied as the students. In general,
the research projects can be categorized as either bio instrumentation
or electronic instrumentation.

The
Micro Instrumentation Instructional Laboratory is dedicated to the
development of technical expertise in personnel interested in micro
scale systems. A one semester course series is offered as a technical
elective for upper level undergraduates with a variety of special
topics courses offered at the graduate level. Additionally, there
is an industrial educational component to the MIIL. Namely, the
MEMS Bootcamp is an industrial short course offered as a concentrated,
hands-on, technical course for MEMS, microsystems technology, and
micromachining.
