DESCRIPTION:Austin’s MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) & Sensors in
 dustry started with joint ventures between the Microelectronics and Comput
 er Technology Corporation (known as MCC)\, IBM\, and Raytheon in the late 
 1990s as a response to the rapidly burgeoning field of ultra miniature 3D 
 electronics technology.\n\nOther companies and universities soon became in
 volved\, including Cypress Semiconductor\, Texas Instruments\, 3M\, Kodak\
 , Rockwell\, Lockheed Martin\, Harris Corporation\, Hughes Research Labs\,
  UCLA\, UC Berkeley\, and the University of Texas at Austin.\n\nIn 2000\, 
 MCC established Austin’s first MEMS company\, and today the Central Texa
 s region benefits from numerous companies that make up the regional indust
 ry. Every person reading this abstract benefits from more than one form of
  MEMS technology\, whether they know it or not.\n\nMEMS & Sensors are key 
 enabling technologies for products such as smart phones\, industrial autom
 ation systems\, IoT systems\, autonomous vehicles\, wearable electronics\,
  drones\, robotics\, oil and gas telemetry\, and biomedical and health inf
 ormatics devices.\n\nThe following presentation will cover the history of 
 Austin’s strategic innovation in MEMS\, its market creation\, its region
 al industry growth and emerging opportunities for this fascinating technol
 ogy.\n\nSpeaker(s): Brent Lunceford\, \, Brent Lunceford\, \n\nAgenda: \n6
