reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA578991 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Berkeley Sensor Actuator Center at the University of California Berkeley has, for more than twenty-five years, had a major impact on the research foundations and consequent commercialization of MEMS and NEMS. This has been achieved through creative combinations of resources, incentives and shared goals involving Academia, Industry, and Government. The strongly multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary operational model of BSAC a National Science Foundation IndustryUniversity Cooperative Research Center is described.
