MECH&AE M183B
Introduction to Microscale and Nanoscale Manufacturing
Description: (Same as Bioengineering M153, Chemical Engineering M153, and Electrical and Computer Engineering M153.) Lecture, three hours; laboratory, four hours; outside study, five hours. Enforced requisites: Chemistry 20A, Physics 1A, 1B, 1C, 4AL, 4BL. Introduction to general manufacturing methods, mechanisms, constrains, and microfabrication and nanofabrication. Focus on concepts, physics, and instruments of various microfabrication and nanofabrication techniques that have been broadly applied in industry and academia, including various photolithography technologies, physical and chemical deposition methods, and physical and chemical etching methods. Hands-on experience for fabricating microstructures and nanostructures in modern cleanroom environment. Letter grading.

Spring 2019 - Pretty cool class. There are 7 weeks of lab which involves lithography processes for wafers and playing around with the nanostructures you make on these wafers. That was probably the best part of the class. The lectures were a little dry but the topic itself is quite interesting. We were given 5-6 homeworks in total which did not take long to do. Many of the homework problems end up on the midterm, so really study it. The exams were questions based off the homework and slides, often a sort of trivia. So um, good luck with memorizing all the lecture slides. Nice thing though is that the final isn't cumulative, so you can just study the stuff after the midterm. Overall, I give the class a 7.5/10. My only wish is that the lectures were much more engaging.
