Abstract

This learning module introduces a systematic approach to solving problems by using a six-step process.  This approach is used throughout industry to solve simple to complex problems.  Activities provide the opportunities to apply this six-step process in a real life situation as well as a MEMS process problem.

MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical System)
