MECH&AE C187L
Nanoscale Fabrication, Characterization, and Biodetection Laboratory
Description: Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours; outside study, seven hours. Multidisciplinary course that introduces laboratory techniques of nanoscale fabrication, characterization, and biodetection. Basic physical, chemical, and biological principles related to these techniques, top-down and bottom-up (self-assembly) nanofabrication, nanocharacterization (AEM, SEM, etc.), and optical and electrochemical biosensors. Students encouraged to create their own ideas in self-designed experiments. Concurrently scheduled with course C287L. Letter grading.

Spring 2024 - Can't recommend enough as a senioritis class. The TAs do the entire lab for you every time, and lab "reports" are just a couple short answer blurbs, straight from the lecture slides. No tests. The final project takes some research but if you put aside like a day for it you can finish it and survive his questioning. Doesn't have to take the full 20 minutes. He is often not clear in his communications but he is very knowledgeable and the lectures aren't too hard to follow.
