项目概述
研究计划:微尺度电气工程
摘要:
微尺度及更小的设备可以成为应对世界上一些最紧迫挑战的经济且可复制的方法。结合用于制造微型电路的技术以及那些可以创建对温度、质量、加速度和化学等刺激做出响应的结构和设备的技术,可以产生一系列经济实惠的解决方案,例如检测水中的污染物、气候条件引发的紧急危险、调节眼内压力、向亲人通知老人跌倒等事故、调节糖尿病等疾病的药物剂量、测量科学工作中的气候变量、远程诊断疾病以及快速低成本打印。
计算、构思和3D打印可以帮助初步探索所提出的设备和系统。
每周将有作业,以帮助学生巩固重要原理。鼓励学生组队组成学习小组,合作完成每周的作业任务,以及最终的研究报告,在其中他们将提出基于电气工程和电子设备原理的有用设备或系统的建议。
Electrical Engineering at the Micro-Scale Research Schedule
Abstract:
Devices at the micro-scale and smaller can be key to affordable and reproducible methods for addressing some of the world’s most urgent challenges. Combining the techniques used to make miniaturized electrical circuitry, and those used to create structures and devices that can respond to stimuli such as temperature, mass, acceleration, and chemistry can yield affordable solutions to a wide range of tasks, such as detecting pollutants in water, imminent danger from climate conditions, regulating pressure in the eye, notification to loved ones of accidents such as elderly people falling, regulating dosage of medicines for diseases such as diabetes, measuring climate variables for scientific work, remote diagnosis of diseases, and rapid low- cost printing.
Calculations, ideation, and 3d printing can help in preliminary exploration of proposed devices and systems.
There will be homework each week, to help retention of important principles. Students are encouraged to form teams to work together in study groups for the weekly homework assignments, and for the final research report, in which they will propose a useful device or system based on electrical engineering and electronic device principles.
