Title: Integrated Design-to-Fabrication Pedagogical Approach for Micro and Nanosensor Systems in Electronics Engineering Education
Keywords: Electronics Engineering Education, Micro and Nanosensor Systems, Project-Based Learning

Abstract: This work presents an integrated design-to-fabrication pedagogical approach for micro- and nanosensor systems, bridging a significant gap in traditional electronics education. It uniquely connects CAD design, simulation, and hands-on cleanroom fabrication, which are typically taught separately. By integrating dedicated courses and a project-oriented, "Research-to-Education"methodology, students gain dual competency in designing and physically realizing advanced microelectronic structures. This holistic approach fosters active learning and provides graduates with an end-to-end understanding of the micro-nanosystem lifecycle, surpassing conventional fragmented curricula.
