Teaching Activities at the LMTS

  • Advanced MEMS & microsystems

    In depth analysis of the operation principles and technology of advanced micro- and nanosystems. Familiarisation to their implementation into products and their applications.

    Section of Microtechnics
    Teachers: Briand Danick
    Language: english
    Academic term: 2024-2025


  • Mechanism Design I

    This course introduces the basics of structural mechanics: calculation of stresses and strains caused by external forces and calculation of strains. This theoretical training is applied to the design of important elements of precision mechanisms.
