generationof engineers and scientists. Teaching micro and nano scale technologies is often challenging andexpensive due to the cost and complexity of typical systems that are utilized to access the microand nano realm. In this work we discuss the Class on a Chip System, which has four maincomponents: packaged Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) chip, driver board/controlelectronics, graphical user interface, and laboratory experiments. The system provides arelatively low cost MEMS experimentation platform which can be utilized through a reasonablecontingent of laboratory tools (microscope and personal computer) available at most educationalinstitutions to teach fundamental physics and engineering knowledge, as well as illustrateimportant micro and

While the benefits of hands-on laboratories are in providing environments forstudents to apply theoretical knowledge, the changing landscape of engineering education todayis spurring consideration of alternate means of offering laboratory-based education. Oneapproach is that of developing remote or online laboratory experiences, which is particularlyattractive for our mechanical engineering program at

conduct PIV research using a small budget. Our main concern washow well a relatively inexpensive laser could illuminate particles of algae and how an inexpensiveCMOS camera with limited resolution could be used to obtain images usable within PIV software. Wewere able to test this by simply shining the laser through a beaker filled with water seeded with algaeparticles shown in Fig. 4. Figure 4. Image of algae particles illuminated by a laser.A simple lift was also designed in order to aid in the positioning of the laser. The main goal of this earlyrevision was to determine if such a system could be viable in a University of _______ laboratory bytaking simple videos illuminating algae flowing in beakers and tubing.
