Training a new generation of MEMS engineers

Future engineers need to know MEMS to work in today’s major industries. Through the University Partnership Program, universities use IntelliSuite™ to teach basic MEMS concepts—such as process flow, thin-film engineering, wet and dry anisotropic etching, the coupling of multiple physical domains and system modeling of MEMS. IntelliSuite™ allows students to simulate and virtually prototype their devices prior to entering a fab, teaching students MEMS processing as they view their device at each fabrication step.

Following five years of sucessful intergration of IntelliSuite™ at the academic level, the program was formalized in 1999. Since then, universities in over 20 countries have selected IntelliSuite™ as their research and classroom simulation tool.

Membership in our University Partner Program gives academic research groups all the benefits our commercial customers receive, at substantial savings.
