In an educational environment that pressures new faculty to become effective anddynamic teachers there is a tendency to overuse and perhaps misuse the new cadre ofinformation transfer tools as well as the lecture. In undergraduate engineering education lecturesare commonly used to promulgate two levels of proficiency: Those that deal with basic skills andthose that deal with synthesis of knowledge. These two learning levels are similar in that theymust maintain the integrity of the lecture structure, but different in their content, complexity, andcommission. Student success in skill-developing courses is absolutely critical if the metamorphosisfrom engineering student to the engineering intern is to occur. It is impossible to

engineering colleges reported their first-year retention rates associated with an integratedcurriculum versus traditional first-year program.15 The Ohio State University reported an 85-90% first-year retention rate for their integrated curriculum versus 70% for the control group. Atthe University of Alabama, the integrated first-year curriculum demonstrated a 20% higherretention than for their traditional program. The University of Florida showed a 10%improvement from 50 to 60%. Thus, first-year engineering retention rates are quite variable andsome engineering colleges have first-year retention rates close to 90%.The disparity of interest in engineering by gender continues as a major concern.

Engineers may even be moreeffective if they embrace a role as a “bridge” between the stakeholders and the policymakers inimplementing solutions to such challenges [3], or even serve as policymakers themselves indesigning and effecting social change [10]. To effectively take on these nontraditionalengineering roles, engineers themselves must stretch beyond a traditional engineeringbackground. Issues such as

Resulting from the demands made from students, employers, and therapid advancement of technology has been a tendency to develop more specialized curricula thatcontain fewer common courses among the engineering disciplines.

As such, the largest objective is the fabrication ofthe MEMS devices. Over the course of three sessions in a cleanroom setting, the electro-thermalactuators needed to be monolithically integrated onto silicon wafers with precise handling so as toalign all the thin film layers with minimal resolution error (<5 μm).The design for the electro-thermal actuator and its corresponding finite element modeling
