, andnanotechnology deals with things in the scale of 1nm~1µm. Some interesting examplesabout the scale of both natural and manmade things are illustrated in Figure 1 [1]. Page 14.810.3 Figure 1. The scale of things – nanometers and more [1]MEMS are the acronym of “Microelectromechanical Systems”. The typical size ofMEMS components is in the range from 1µm to 1 mm. MEMS is actually a relatively"young" technology with history of only several decades. In 1959, R. Feynman predicteda future prosperity of science and technology about the "small" world [2]. Since then,scientists and engineers made tremendous effort to explore this amazing "small" world.In

While that might be a constraint, arelatively great number of potential expert users of a specific technology are supplied fromschools and universities. One solution would be to expose more engineering students to the newest technologies, suchas Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), while they are still in school.

The progression of thenascent engineer from a knowledgeable user of technology through naïve problem solver to anartisan and finally an expert is expedited by project based learning exposures.12 Whereas theanalytical underpinnings of the complex design process may best be taught in lecture formats,with abstract representations and in less open-ended laboratory experiences, the complex designprocess itself requires higher-order thought and is best accomplished by exposure to concreteapplications in a project based learning environment
