Targeted students and prerequisites

The course is targeting MSc levelargeted students: MSc students; typically 30% of the students are PhD students, p¶

Preferably withed background in: Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Engineering Physics. Microsystem engineering is a very interdisciplinary topic, and the students in previous years came from different MSc programms including microelectronics, nanotechnology, electrophysics, engineering The majority of students comes from the Nanotechnology, Engineering Physics, Electrophysics, sSystems&cControl&rRobotics, sSystem- on-c Chip, vand Vehicle engineeringEneingeering MSc programmes.¶

Pre-requisites: None about previous courses. 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!

Pre-kKnowledge in microsystems, nanotechnology, or semiconductor technology may be advantageous for some course parts, for instance the fabrication, but not necessary at all. Typically, less than 25% of the students have taken the EK2350 Microsystem Technology course. The students will learn how to use state of the art simof simulation and design tools: No knowledge on design tools is needed, as tutorials will be given to the software used in the course, and typically 80% of the students have not used these software before. FEM simulation is done with COMSOL Mulationphysics, and CAD design tools; no previous experience on FEM or CAD tools is required.¶ Typically 20-30% of the students are PhD students, who are working in separate teams from the MSc students, are separately evaluated, but get the same task description.¶ Under certain circumstances, it may be accommodated that students create and carry out their own task in the world of mis done with LEdit Pro.¶

Typically, only about 25% of the students have taken microsystem-related courses before, for instance the EK2350 Microsystem tTechnology course.
