Abstract

This learning module provides an overview of how MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) are being used for bioterrorism and environmental sensing.  An activity allows for more in-depth exploration into an application of personal interest.

This learning module includes the following:

  • Reading:  MEMS for Environmental and Bioterrorism Applications
  • Presentation:  MEMS for Environmental and Bioterrorism Applications (pdf)
  • Activity: Research MEMS Environmental and Bioterrorism Applications
  • Assessment

Instructor materials for this learning module are available here.
