Theresearch seeks to instill confidence and competence in students' grasp of fundamental chemicalprinciples, collaborative skills, and problem-solving abilities, while also nurturing their curiositythrough the integration of active learning techniques, laboratory experiments, and interactiveteaching methodologies. The study discusses an examination of the impact of hands-onpedagogy on students' peer learning collaboration and curiosity.

This past summer, most reopened institutionsgraduated their first class since the cultural revolution. Simultaneously,the Chinese are trying to complete the interrupted training of theirmiddle level faculty and to rebuild the basic infrastructure of itsbuildings and laboratories. It is important to recall that the Chinese have been heavily in-fluenced by the Russian model in the development of its universitiesand research institutions.

Stresses in the aluminum cantilever structurewere reduced by controlling sputtering deposition parameters such as thickness and power. Removalof the sacrificial photoresist layer proved to be a limiting factor because a liquid etchant was used,which lead to issues with stiction. Care was taken to optimize the process of the electro-thermalactuators and reduce the amount of stiction and overall intrinsic stress present of the device.

Microsystems Sandia National Laboratories AbstractPhotonic crystals (PC) are synthetic materials that can be used to control lightpropagation. PC have a frequency bandgap where light is forbidden to propagate. Thisbandgap is strongly tied to the microstructure of the photonic crystal. Three-dimensionalTungsten photonic crystal in a Lincoln-log microstructure has been suggested as a strongalternative filter in photo voltaic cells with significantly high power efficiency.Mechanical characterization of Tungsten PC can be performed using means of micro-indentation.Here we present a three dimensional finite element simulation of the structural responseof a Tungsten photonic crystal under
