Welcome to the microelectronics and nanotechnology revolution! This course will develop the general scientific and engineering underpinnings of microelectronics and nanotechnology, and examine how this new technological revolution is influencing a broad array of interdisciplinary fields (engineering, biology, biomedical engineering, material science, chemistry, physics, medicine, technology, management) and civilization as a whole (art, business, film, entertainment, politics). Special “widget deconstruction” topics will address common pieces of modern technology (e.g., cell phone, flash drive, GPS, DVD, digital camera) from the perspective of: “How do they do what they do?”; “How does microelectronics & nanotechnology play in that functionality?”; and “Where is the technology going and how will it change the way we live our lives?” Student-led “round-table” discussion threads and team debates will examine the transformational impact of the microelectronics and nanotechnology revolution on modern society. A team-oriented “widget deconstruction” project will serve as a capstone for the course. No special knowledge of electrical and computer engineering is assumed, but the class will be highly interactive and student participation is key.
