Engineering from National University of Singapore in 1997. She served as Assistant Professor and subsequently Associate Professor in Mechatronics Engineering at University of Adelaide, Australia and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore respectively. In 2006, she resigned from her faculty job and came to Connecticut for family reunion. Throughout her academic career in Australia and Singapore, she had developed a very strong interest in learning psychology and educational measurement. She then opted for a second Ph.D. in Educational Psychology, specialized in Measurement, Evaluation and Assessment at University of Connecticut. She earned her second Ph.D. in 2010. Dr. Li has a unique cross-disciplinary educational and

like solid state micro-electronics, students’ exposure to experiences related to equipment and processes used for thefabrication of functional devices greatly impact their education and understanding of the field.Moreover, it provides them the opportunity to develop a skill set and an advantage that helpsthem as they start their careers in this field.The production of completed devices often entails a considerable investment of time andresources owing to the number of processing steps associated with these devices as well as thecomplex nature of the processing technology. Successful device fabrications necessitate acertain level of procedural optimization, which is not suitable for integration into a semester longundergraduate course. This is
