Abstract:

"This first undergraduate-level textbook on microsystems and smart systems makes a burgeoning area of professional practice accessible to course teaching. It is based on a course introduced at VTU in India in 2009, which has already been taught to nearly 1000 students. Practical examples and exercises will set this book apart from the professional reference books currently in use as texts on the subject"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary

Microsystems are systems that integrate, on a chip or a package, one or more of many different categories of microdevices. As the past few decades were dominated by the development and rapid miniaturization of circuitry, the current and coming decades are witnessing a similar revolution in the miniaturization of sensors, actuators, and electronics; and communication, control and power devices. Applications ranging from biomedicine to warfare are driving rapid innovation and growth in the field, which is pushing this topic into graduate and undergraduate curricula in electrical, mechanical, and biomedical engineering.
