MIT OpenCourseWare on BioMEMS

Several years back, MIT decided to make its course materials freely available on the web. Not all materials from all courses are available, but there are several offerings in microsystems/microfluidics/BioMEMS if you’d like to construct a do-it-yourself education. For example:

• HST.410J / 6.07J Projects in Microscale Engineering for the Life Sciences
• 6.777J / 2.372J Design and Fabrication of Microelectromechanical Devices
• 20.330J / 2.793J / 6.023J Fields, Forces and Flows in Biological Systems

But you might want to look further than this. With 1900 courses ranging from advanced kitchen chemistry to the neurobiology of aging to video game theory, OpenCourseWare offers a trove of inspiration.
