Course Objectives

The Goal of the course is to provide senior and graduate students with the basic concepts and principles of sensing and actuation in miniaturized systems, which mostly use integrated circuit fabrication for their realization.  Categories include sensors/ actuators (named Transducers), microfluidics and Lab on Chip, etc.  Basic mechanism of transduction, micro/nanofabrication techniques, and relative merits of the different technologies will be addressed.  This course will be research oriented and focuses on conference/journal paper survey.
