Electronics Design Center

Overview of Services

The mission of the Electronics Design Center (EDC) is to advance the science and technology of microsensors and microsystems for chemical and biological applications and to provide education, training, expertise and facilities for students, faculty and researchers to advance these technologies. The EDC has pursued research in areas ranging from solid-state and biomedical sensors to micro-electrochemical energy systems. Applications for this research include medical, biological, automotive, industrial process control and various environmental monitoring uses. The Center is not only an educational and research center but also a fully equipped microfabrication laboratory that provides such services as metal/insulation sputtering, photolithography, wafer dicing and thick film printing. The EDC serves as maker space, for graduate and undergraduates taking courses in microfabrication, to students and researchers building their own devices. Expert faculty and staff are available to assist external users with service work and prototype development.
