The program has been very successful andtriggered tremendous interests among students. The classes were full and closed in thevery early stage of course registration. The department had to open extra sections toaccommodate the students who still want to join the courses. The students’ feedback inthe course evaluations has been excellent. They are very happy to have an opportunity toenter this amazing field of MEMS. Many students chose MEMS as their interested careerand continue to do a master project/thesis research in this field.

AbstractTypically, FEA courses are offered at a graduate level, covering the theoretical basis with littleor no effort to apply this technology to real problems. In some institutions, this course is offeredto seniors, but the content is also mostly theoretical. At Wentworth, we have designed an FEAcourse based on our industrial experience which could be labeled “Applied Finite ElementAnalysis”.

Based on the freshman population, there are typically 14-28 different seminar topicsand 18-23 sections with approximately 20 students per section. Because of the broad nature ofthe General Education outcomes, each seminar section varies in its particular topic, spanningmany different disciplines. The School of Engineering at The Citadel used the curriculum updateas an opportunity to engage both engineering and non-engineering students with engineeringtopics in the freshman seminars.

Detailed information about the computational modules addedcan be found in our previous publications [4, 5, 6], where our team performed several studentsurveys in order to spot the strengths and weaknesses of the newly introduced computationalmodules [7, 8, 9, 10]. Although student surveys are an effective tool when assessing the quality ofthe curriculum [11], student feedback lacks the perspective that the postgraduate experienceprovides [12]. Alumni surveys can be used as a guide to reshape a curriculum, especially formaking it more relevant to the needs of employers [13].

The polymer waveguide fabrication technique demonstrated in this paper could also beadopted by other engineering technology programs for courses in manufacturing, semiconductors,and microfabrication. The theory behind the polymer waveguide formation, i.e. LDW,introduced in this paper is identical to that of the photolithography technique. The waveguidefabrication processes (spin coating, photo resist developing, etc.) are the same for bothapproaches.
