MEMS Micro Electric Mechanical Systems is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology

Wheatstone Bridge A simple circuit for measuring an unknown resistance by connecting it so as to form a quadrilateral with three known resistances and applying a voltage between a pair of opposite corners. Dr. Charles Wheatstone

Silicon Wafer In electronics, a wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor material, such as a silicon crystal, used in the fabrication of integrated circuits and other micro devices.

Wafer Fabrication 1.Clean Room 2.Prepare Mask 3.Transfer mask to wafer 4.Apply photo-resist 5.Remove photo-resist 6.View wafer for defects with microscope

Classroom Application Pressure Sensor Model Activity Using basic materials students will construct a macro pressure sensor with a Wheatstone bridge circuit.

Classroom Application Will Special Kelvin Lighting Positively impact the Academic Performance of Special Education Students? Professor - Dr. Arif Sarwat

Kelvin Lighting Special Kelvin lights will be installed in classrooms. Educators will control the settings Researchers will monitor student progress Student academic progress is expected to be positive
