Implementation of a multidisciplinary introduction to microfabrication at Binghamton University

Microfabrication is a critical area to many branches of science and engineering. Beginning in 2009, we undertook a broad multidisciplinary approach to bring microfabrication into all aspects of the science and engineering curriculum. This program was coupled with a comprehensive assessment activity to evaluate the program's effectiveness and continuously improve it year to year. In this paper, we report on the details of our implementation process, the techniques we have found to bring a hands-on experience to large classes and the lessons learned from our attempts to make this topic a mainstream part of engineering and science education.
