In order to expand undergraduate education in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and nanotechnology, a series of sensors were designed with the intent of integrating the design process into the project portion of a micro/nano systems course. The majority of the design work was focused around piezoresistive, diaphragm-based pressure sensors, utilizing multiple diaphragm sizes and geometries. These sensors were chosen for their geometrical simplicity and their ability to be manufactured using available photolithographic techniques. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the stress distribution in these sensors, leading to better design decisions, the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technique was used. Results …

In 2013, Grand Valley State University will open a new library building. At that time materials in the library's existing off-site storage facility will be moved into the new library's automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), reintegrating them with the main collection. These materials had originally been moved into storage in 2003 because of their low use and since that time, only about 1% of the collection has circulated. Knowing how difficult it would be to review the collection once it is an ASRS and wanting to maintain the integrity of the current collection, GVSU decided to undertake a major …

This poster will present several examples of PER-tested assessment techniques incorporated into Intermediate Mechanics Tutorials (IMT), a suite of instructional materials that itself has been modeled after published materials such as Tutorials in Introductory Physics by McDermott, Shaffer, et al., (Prentice-Hall, 2002) and Activity-Based Tutorials by Wittmann, Steinberg, and Redish (Wiley, 2004). Much like their introductory-level counterparts, the IMT pre- and post-tutorial assessments consist of written explain your reasoning tasks designed to probe for persistent conceptual and reasoning difficulties. In addition, the in-class IMT worksheets include instructor checkpoints for formative student feedback. This poster will provide evidence supporting the appropriateness …
