Microelectronics Project

he Microelectronics Project is a comprehensive teaching material that guides students through the design, development, and testing of a microelectronic device. The project involves several key steps, including the integration of a motor with a housing, collecting measurements, and conducting an airflow test. Students are required to document their progress, noting any initial gaps or problems that occur during the transition from open to closed positions. They must also record videos of their device in operation, specifically when collecting measurements (OPEN_CLOSED_MODE = 0) and when opening/closing five times (OPEN_CLOSED_MODE = 1).
The project culminates in a data analysis section, where students use an AQI spreadsheet to calculate the Air Quality Index based on their outdoor test results. They must submit their calculated AQI value, along with a link to the spreadsheet, and complete a Google Form reflecting on their experience. The form asks students to identify things they learned during the project that they would change if they could do a third iteration. The submission format requires students to upload the URL of their Google Document and an Excel sheet with completed data to Canvas by a specified deadline. Overall, the Microelectronics Project is designed to provide hands-on experience with microelectronic devices, data collection, and analysis, while promoting critical thinking and reflection on the design and development process.
