Award Overview
The Micralyne Microsystems Design Award is open to
students in a graduate degree program in a Canadian
university. The award will be made to the competitor
who demonstrates the most novel and industrially
relevant research results in the following
areas of microsystems: MEMS, microfluidics,
materials research and system-related developments
that include research in these areas.
This competition is targeted at microsystems applications
including telecommunication, health care, automobile,
aerospace, environment, etc. The competition welcomes
projects using unique substrates, materials, and structures,
as well as other traditional and non-traditional microsystems
research. Submissions can be either working or demonstration
applications, or specific techniques and design tools
that contribute to the body of knowledge dealing with
MEMS and microfluidics.
The award can be used to support the winner's education
or training related to microsystems and may be applied
to the cost of attending a conference or workshop or
visiting a lab or other technical facility inside or
outside Canada.
Participants in the competition for the Micralyne Award
may also be eligible for the:
