surfacemicromaching techniques.The last two challenges are works in progress. While we have worked to implement ourmicrofabrication processes using readily accessible laboratory equipment, several piecesof equipment are still needed. The notable exceptions have been the design of a spincoater (for deposition of photoresist), and a mask aligner (for exposure of the photoresistduring photolithography), amenable to construction Chile. Finally, much effort has goneinto finding sources of processing supplies for our Chilean operation, in particularsources for photoresist and developer. This paper describes the results of our efforts toovercome these four challenges.ApproachIn order to educate Chilean student in MEMS fabrication techniques, we began bydeveloping

In traditional experiments, students are providedwith detailed instructions for completing the procedure, use equipment that has already been setup, and perform tests on samples that have already been prepared. This paper describes a self-designed experiment in which students handle almost everything on their own, includingmaterial selection, sample preparation, procedure design, test setup, data collection, and resultanalysis. Prior to undertaking the self-designed experiment, students have finished severalregular experiments such as material microstructure observation, Charpy test and tensile test
