Existing MEMS College Programs and Courses Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute (TVI) The Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute (TVI) and the University of New Mexico initiated their MEMS program after NASA and Sandia expressed an interest in developing MEMS technicians and engineers. NASA provided TVI with a $300,000 grant to develop six MEMS courses. Four of these courses are already being taught. The other two will be ready in spring 2005. Sandia, run by Lockheed Martin, has invested $500 million in the Microsystems Engineering Sciences Application (MESA) complex for construction and new lab space that will facilitate MEMS research and development.

Lack of venture funding. It takes anywhere from seven to ten years to bring a MEMS product from the laboratory to the marketplace. A number of prominent MEMS companies, including Corning Intellisense and Standard MEMS, closed their doors in 2003. These companies were able to raise significant venture capital funding in the pre-2001 “boom” period without a clear commercialization strategy. Convincing venture capitalists to return to the MEMS market will be a major challenge for this industry. An encouraging sign is that venture funding for MEMS companies in the first half of 2004 surpassed the entire 2003 funding level by 33% (Bourne, 2004).

Displaced semiconductor workers with experience and expertise in semiconductor processing and electronics are ideal MEMS technician candidates. Currently, more than 50% of the students enrolled in TVI’s MEMS program are displaced semiconductor employees (Hall, 2004).
