Paper ID #29785An Undergraduate Hands-On Approach to Microfabrication Applied Learn-ingTowards Developing a Silicon-Based Microfluidic Pressure Sensor ArrayMr. Alexander Bryan Bailey, Alfred State College I currently am a senior undergraduate student studying Mechanical Engineering Technology at SUNY Alfred State. I was a self-taught, homeschooled student before entering college, and I have now been engaged as an intern for a local manufacturing automation company for the past two years (2018-2019). When not directly pursuing academic interests, my hands turn to building drones and experimental model aircraft.Mr. Trevor S

This course isintended to make integration between two knowledge domains: Art and Science of FluidMechanics. The course is not math oriented and is designed for the students with minimal to nobackground in photography or physics of fluid mechanics. Students explore a
