Mission

The Multidisciplinary MIcrosystem Design and Integration (MMIDI) Group at Brigham Young University is a group of faculty members and students from three different engineering disciplines who are working together to develop microsystems for the next generation. Current efforts, funded principally by the National Science Foundation, are focused on the development of a self-sustained micropower supply suitable for autonomous microsystems such as microsensors. Students at all levels are involved in various aspects of the project.
