Multidisciplinaryengineering education in MEMS is therefore essential for keeping pace with the needs and trendsof modern technology.There is a need for more enriching opportunities in MEMS education, but significant barriers andconstraints limit the ways in which hands-on education is accessible to a broad learning audience.Although most engineering schools and colleges are now and may continue to be organizedprimarily under traditional “compartmentalized” disciplines, innovations in pedagogy andcollaboration help spread MEMS and other contemporary technologies to widening

faced --providing students with workplace experiences. IVCC is located in a rural and primarilyagricultural district in north central Illinois. As a result of a limited industrial base, a limitednumber of engineering and technology jobs are available in the district, posing problems forstudents seeking internships and for the college seeking industry partnerships. Technical jobs,however, are readily available just outside of the college district; Chicago, Rockford andPeoria are all within 60 to 100 miles of the IVCC campus. By providing simulated world ofwork experience on the campus, MIMIC provided a solution to the technical programs'dilemma.In the first ten years of the MIMIC project, the entire process was completed in one semester

information—in order to create useful toolsand technologies. Consequently, engineering education has the objective of not only presenting thescientific principles, i.e., engineering science, but also of teaching students how to apply these toreal problems. It is not surprising, therefore, that hands-on laboratories have been an integral part ofthe engineering curriculum since its inception [1]. Their importance has been recognized by theAccreditation Board of Engineering Education (ABET) and its predecessors by creation of criteriarequiring adequate laboratory practice for students [2-6]. Unfortunately, during the last severaldecades, engineering laboratories have become highly complex and expensive, with multiplesimulation tools and computer

Orgsync improves upon the listserv by allowing two-way communication. Further, content can be tailored to different subgroups (ex. prospective students versus advisors).
