Silicon wafer

Mechanical engineering students aim to make silicon wafer inspections more efficient

April 19, 2022

The global shortage of semiconductors – the computer chips that products such as smartphones, laptops, cars and even washing machines rely on – are motivating engineers to improve the inspection of the silicon wafers that semiconductors are fabricated from. To help accomplish that, Department of Mechanical Engineering students have built a silicon wafer center-finding improvement device

Medtronic prototype

Mechanical engineering students develop a soft robot to improve lung examinations

April 15, 2022

The seniors are working with Medtronic to design a soft robot that would give physicians more control as they examine the deepest part of a patient's lung and make the procedure less abrasive for the patient.

Accu-precision
