individual or much smaller lab group than the 3-5students pairing used this past term. Furthermore, majority of students (~80%) developed a specialinterest in the biomedical and micro manufacturing applications for this technology. Other applicationssuch as electronic cooling could be further discussed and emphasized to broaden the impact of thisexperiment.ConclusionImaging (both visible and infrared) of microfluidic devices can be used to study fluid flow and thermalphenomena in educational laboratories for undergraduate engineering courses. The experimentsdescribed here are representative of projects that combine microsystems, image processing, rapidprototyping, and instrumentation with various sensors in an integrated system.
