The task at hand is to develop a workforce that must have a new skill set which has not previously been the focus of any existing organized technical curriculum. This paper will address one approach to presenting the important process steps in microdevice fabrication to a non-materials major audience. Particular attention will be spent on the problems and challenges associated with introducing what the technical demands and expectations of the industry will be, presenting the material

The main challenge in offering this course tosophomore students is to achieve a balance between mathematical theory and experientiallearning. Real-life examples and laboratory activities were designed to provide the students withhands-on experiences and to enforce the understanding of theoretical materials.

possible to cover the detailed theory and applications of all high-level classes. For thisreason, many educational projects are aimed to give students the opportunity to acquire this high-level knowledge through a hands-on practice. At the end of these projects, students concludetheir experience and prepare a student manual that, later on, guides other groups in getting thesame knowledge through hands-on experience. This initiative is applied through some seniordesign projects within the Engineering Technology program. In this paper, a shaking table isused to learn the concepts of (1) vibration analysis, (2) vibration absorber design (that is usuallycovered in Mechanical Vibration class which is not currently offered at our ET program), and (3
