Learning outcomes
After the course, the student is able to recognise microsystem technology and name its main applications. The student is also aware of the capabilities and state-of-the-art of microsensors and actuators. The student is able to identify different sensor and actuator principles, explain their working principles and name their benefits and drawbacks. The student can explain the principles of silicon micromachining, LIGA and different bonding techniques The course suits especially well for students who aim for R&D tasks.
