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

assign different roles to, depending on the experiment.Many students requested to be offered supplementary lab sessions so that they can familiarizethemselves with previous experiments or acquaint themselves with prospective ones. However, itwas very difficult to match these requests in view of the inadequate amount of space and time,and the limited availability of teaching assistants. In this paper, we present the design of a Remote Internetworking Laboratory, which we fullyimplemented, tested and allowed for use by a sample group of students. Our design allows thelab to be accessed remotely, anywhere and at anytime. Furthermore, it overcomes the limitationon the number of devices, by making them accessible 24 hours/7 days a week.

Such a project had two phases which corresponded to the twocourses. In the Phase I of the project, a vague problem idea was given, which required thestudents to design a (multidisciplinary) mechatronics system. The students formed in teams andcollected information to further define the project before drawing their first drafts. Multiple ideaswere

If students do not think about theactual measurement, the measurement errors and how the measurements relate to an engineeringmodel or to the information that they are trying to gain, then the lab experience has failed.Described in

All of these skills will be marketable to futureemployers and graduate schools.

The gap between education/ training and demand has become a major focus throughout the metrology community. The shiftfrom military schooling to the private sector has been a rough road with few successes and manyfailures.
