Elective Course: MEMA 489 Nanoscale Issues in Manufacturing
The senior elective course, MEMA 489 Nanoscale Issues in Manufacturing, is open to both science and engineering students who have the necessary prerequisites. It has both lecture and laboratory components. Since it covers a broad sweep of topics on nanoscale manufacturing, three members of the project team, Ibrahim Karaman (Mechanical Engineering), Winfried Teizer (Physics) and Terry Creasy (Mechanical Engineering), team taught the first version of the course that was offered in the spring semester of the 2003-04 academic year. Each faculty member developed lecture materials and laboratory experiments for about one-third of the course. After the team prepared the initial draft of the course materials, Terry Creasy taught the second iteration of the course in fall semester of the 2004-05 academic year. The course had three themes.
- Theme 1: Methods and Techniques for Nanostructure Fabrication
- Theme 2: Fabrication of Bulk Materials through Nanoparticle Consolidation
- Theme 3: Design and Assembly of Devices and Multifunctional Materials Using Nanoscale Components
