Error! Bookmark not defined.16WEEKLY TENTATIVE SCHEDULE . 1417-18Introduction to 569 an overview or survey course on MEMS ( many topics in shallowcoverage and a 7 in depth)The goal of this overly detailed memo is to let students know in a clear, plain and intelligiblemanner what is expected in 569 as regards GROUP and individual grading, due dates ofassignments and the importance of the two GROUP talks and WORD papers during thesemester. This is SURVEY course for MEMS (Micro electromechanical systems andmicrofluidics. As such it is broad in sweep (blood markers and DNA analysis on a chip) with indepth portions in the second half of the course for 7 commercial MEMS systems.Weekly memos will be uploaded on Canvas reminding you all of last week’s material, thisweek’s due dates and next week’s material repeating from the syllabus in small chunks:1. What we did last week2. What prior assignment is due that coming week (e.g. Pop Quiz, Chapter HW, upcomingtalks etc.). In general the Pop Quiz is due the following week Thur. that it was assigned,whereas the HW is due, the following week Tues.3.I will also detail what’s newly assigned for that coming week and future due dates as wellfor all new assignments. Due dates for exams and HW are given below in the syllabus.Please contact myself or the grader if the grading is not accomplished in a timely manner.I seek to give students a chance to discern and make judgements about MEMS truthversus MEMS facts in the book, the internet and Collins lectures.The role of MEMS in the IoT (Internet of things) is emphasized where each MEMS sensorhas an IP address. For example, MEMS personal sensor networks equipped with wirelesscommunication for body area networks for fitness or health. Illustrative health sensing1
data include MEMS to monitor: your heart beat and any irregularities, blood oxygen, stepstaken each day, etc. Similar IoT networks of MEMS sensors for office building wide arealighting HVAC networks as well as smart roads for traffic control. All employ MEMSsensors for SCADA data collection, which is analyzed on the cloud by IT( informationtechnology) algorithms/ AI programs to parse the data and to achieve: more systemproductivity or efficiency, less system operation costs, pro-active system componentmaintenance to reduce system down time and increase system reliability as well as in thefuture allow real-time decision making by computers.Class Time: Tuesday and Thursday 5:30 to 6:45.in Engineering E 203Instructor: Prof. George Collins, Email: gcollins@engr.colostate.eduGRADER: TBA :Instructor PhilosophyECE Students are the most important people at CSU.Not dependent on faculty.Faculty is dependent on them.Not an interruption of our work.They are the purpose of being at CSU.Students are doing us a favor when they come to our office.We are not doing them a favor by serving them.Students are part of our business, not outsiders.Not just a CSU ID number.They are flesh and blood human beings with feelings and emotions.Students come to us with their needs and wants.It is our job to address them with courteous and attentive treatment.Students are the life blood of this and every university.Without them we would close our doors.DON’T EVER FORGET THIS!General Instructions for Assignments:All Homework assignments and pop quizzes will be uploaded on Canvas or directly to the grader.

Enjoy the wonder of MEMS and body area networks for the next generation of health careemploying body vital sign MEMS sensors. The sensors report to your cell phone or smart watchand also to the web for diagnostics from expert systems. This can be the subject for BOTHGROUP talks # 1 and 2.ALL OF THIS MATERIAL IS TENTATIVE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Changes occur in569 CLASS ANNOUNCEMENTS and 569 weekly memos sent to all students throughoutTHE SEMESTER, which supersede this preliminary syllabus document.Quick and CRUDE Guide through the 569 grade minefield:1. Homework Grading(10 % of grade) Do ONLY Five HW assignments of the 10 listed. Completion of allgroup based HW must be delivered by the deadline via uploading HW attachmentto CANVAS by the group leader designated or send directly to grader. (Onesubmission per group)2. Take Home Exam(10 % of grade) Take Home Group EXAM # 1 (10 % of final grade) verifies you knowthe second order DEQ solutions in both time and frequency domains, for both R-L-Cnetworks and M-B-K systems. Key is the concept of resonance and quality factor.Mechanical systems have in vacuum have B 0 which is equivalent to R 0 in electricalsystems. Hence, the high Q achieved in MEMS mechanical or acoustic oscillators withPPM frequency stability even at GHz operating frequencies.3. Two Group Talks (50% of grade divides as follows: Group Talk # 1(20 %) and Talk # 2(30%). One is at the beginning of the course and one is at the end of the course.Group talks test your ability to search the World Wide Web, on specific MEMS topics togo beyond lecture and book learning. It also gives opportunity to learn from your own andothers’ PPT presentations how to present better talks. Again this is a skill highly valued inindustry and we all can learn. In both talks include the dark side of SCADA data andhacking of SCADA systems as well as hacking of GE “Predix”, the illustrative cloudanalysis system that melds IoT data and IT algorithms.In 569 talks Show briefly How Cybercriminals Target the Physical SCADA Data and the cloud AI programsDigital remote monitoring platforms offer many benefits, but can also open the door to cybersecurity threats. Address the risks, covering:- Cyber security concerns for data center remote monitoring platforms- Key steps to keep data private and infrastructure systems secure from hackers- Practices of a secure development lifecycle- Recommended design attributes and best practices for the a cloud-based monitoring platform5
Talk # 1 is at the beginning of the course. Grade breakdown (15% for PPT talk and 5%for Word paper) is on microfluidics for emerging medical diagnostics in drug stores oroutside medical labs. Theranos was a leader in the field of instant blood analysis, but hasencountered major problems. So, as outlined in class Theranos illustrates the saying“second mouse will get this instant blood analysis on a chip cheese”. I list below threeother contenders.1. Seventh Sense Biosystems2. Spot on Sciences3. HemoLink4. YOUR GROUP FIND OTHERS like Philips medicalA second topic could be Employing Body Area Networks of MEMS wireless sensorsand cell phone/ watch or body attached data collectors for sports, medical orenhanced personal awareness.Penn State’s Michael Alley has an excellent talk on PPT presentations located both on YouTubeand on www.the-scientist.com. Your technical presentations will be GROUP efforts to simulateyour next environment—industry or graduate school. This group effort is purposeful to getstudents familiar with the team efforts that they will SOON encounter in industry. For group effortsMicrosoft has versions of Word and Power Point that reside on servers at Microsoft—@ officelive.com—moreover this allows MULTIPLE users to log on and work on the SAME documenttogether.Grading Talk # 1Individual Portions of the PPT Presentation for talk # 1 is graded as follows out of 15total:1. TECHNICAL ACCURACY 9/152. PPT Slide ORGANIZATION 3/53. CLARITY OF MATERIAL-SHORT LIST OF TOPICS, IN DEPTH COVERAGE,BETTER THAN MANY TOPICS VERY SHALLOW DOVERAGE 1/154.

Presentations Steve Jobs StyleWhen you give a presentation, you face at least two hurdles.First, you need to sell yourself as a credible spokesperson on your topic. Audiences need tobelieve in you-and that's hard enough. Second, you need to sell your ideas so that people comeaway inspired, persuaded and enlightened. Steve Jobs did both-with incredible skill. Widelyconsidered one of the most gifted presenters ever, Jobs understood how to deliver memorablespeeches in a seemingly effortless, engaging manner. His conversational tone, simple yetcompelling word choice and masterful use of slides and other props helped reinforce his messagein winning ways. When all groups investigate the same topic, you get “schooled” on presentationskills and the topic itself at the same time by your fellow students. That is you can compare yourefforts to others in your class, and learn from BOTH positive and negative example as well from theinstructor. So I require talk# 1 to be on the same topic, unless your group receives special permissionin advance. Talk # 2 is a MEMS topic chosen by each group based on their interest. It’s OK to redo aMEMS topic I covered in class for talk # 2, but you need to go into greater detail.You'll learn how to develop key skills, including how to: Integrate Aristotle's "Big Three"-logos/ethos/pathos-to win over audiences. Learnhow to blend logic, credibility and emotion to enliven your remarks. Convey big ideas or central themes via multiple channels. From audience giveawaysto props to slides, apply the Steve Jobs approach and align all available tools to drivehome key points so that people cannot help but remember them-and buy into them. Think in threes. To explain complex processes (from chemical reactions to financialformulas), learn to cluster your main points in threes. Your audiences will thank you. Use bluntness and directness. Rather than drop hints or dance around controversialpositions just follow Steve Jobs' example and state your case boldly and succinctly. Embrace simple language. If you need to explain complex ideas, you must speak incomplex terms. Right? Well, Steve Jobs was a master at communicating complicatedconcepts in unmistakably clear words. Develop tools to translate your speech into plainEnglish that's compelling and hard for anyone-of any background or educational level-toignore. Start staff meetings with an edge. Steve Jobs did not begin staff meetings with touchyfeely happy talk. Instead, he often provoked people or expressed disappointment in someaspect of the team's performance. But by the end of the meeting, everyone left in apositive frame of mind-inspired and validated. Find out how Jobs pulled that off.As TWO in class group talks and papers play such a big role in learning and in the 569 grades Icover this next in more detail below and provide guidance. The two group talks I assign andassociated group papers are distinct with different requirements and different due dates. The7
course therefore emphasizes practice in both ORAL presentations in PPT and report writing inWORD using IEEE standard referencing of all sources.Talk # 2 at the end of the course ( 30 % total grade : 25 % for PPT talk and 5% for WORDpaper) in 569 is entirely the choice of the student group such as extending Body AreaNetwork of sensors for sports, medical or enhanced awareness that I presented in class.Or the commercial MEMS systems for: pressure ,acceleration, rotation, 3-D printers,MEMSfilters and oscillators etc. etc covered in classIndividual Portions of the PPT Presentation for talk # 2 is graded as follows out of25 total:TECHNICAL ACCURACY 17/252.

Kaizen is a Japanese word for ‘continual improvement’ and iscommon in manufacturing as pioneered by Toyota. Presentation skills too can be honedthrough repetition, listening to talks and critique of our own talks.4. Pop Quizzes(30 % of grade) Ten weekly pop quizzes but you need only complete 5/ 10 pop quizzesnot all 10. Picking up on main points only in lectures and weekly memos saves spendingtoo much time looking up commercial MEMS vendor websites and extracting productspecifications and COST information. However, frankly this ability to read data sheets is akey future job skill, when looking for MEMS or indeed any electronic component, for abigger job involving many components beyond MEMS parts as well.5. Extra Credit points UP TO 10 % of final grade in two partsa. Extra credit assignments (up to 5% due ONE WEEK AFTER ASSIGNED) andb. Class participation (up to 5 %). Both show your commitments to learn MEMSmaterials outside the class room by bringing your
Due dates for exams and HW are given below in the syllabus. Please contact myself or the grader if the grading is not accomplished in a timely manner. I seek to give students a chance to discern and make judgements about truth MEMS
