ME 581 Introduction to Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies
This course presents fundamentals and applications of microfluidic technologies for lab-on-a-chip applications. The course provides a broad view of the field of microfluidics and knowledge of relevant fabrication methods and analysis techniques. Microfluidic fabrication techniques, transport processes, flow control methods, molecular separations and detection techniques will be emphasized. Students will do class projects and are expected to demonstrate mastery of basic concepts in microfluidic modeling, design, and fabrication of a microfluidic system selected in consultation with the instructor. Prerequisite: Undergraduates who've taken ENGR 331 and have department consent or graduate student status
