Coventor and the Micro and nanotechnology Commercialization Education Foundation (MANCEF) awarded five MEMS design scholarships to students and their professors during the COMS 2004 conference in Canada. The scholarships were granted based on proposals submitted by students working in micro systems research around the world. Each student will receive a free 1-year licence to Coventor's Analyzer and Designer CoventorWare software tools to be used in the university setting.

Universities were required to be current MANCEF members to be eligible to submit proposals.

Proposals were broken up into four categories: bio MEMS, RF MEMS, sensors/actuators and other novel designs.

Winners were picked in each category.

They are: Giorgio Gattiker, PhD candidate at the University of Calgary for his "eMosquito: an actuated microneedle for automated blood sampling" proposal; Ariel Lipson, a PhD student at Imperial College London, UK, for his photonic bandgap (PBG) device using nano-sized repetitive crystal structures that enable light manipulation; Preeti Sharma of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, for her work in RF and optical MEMS integration and packaging at system-level architecture; Greg Thompson of TVI Community College in the Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Program, Albuquerque, New Mexico, for his research and modelling of MEMS actuated cantilever and MEMS pressure sensors; and Zhen Wang, PhD student at University of Alberta, for his work in proteomics using microfluidics.

Each student's work will be published by MANCEF and/or Coventor after they have completed the MEMS research outlined in the winning proposals.

Coventor will offer similar scholarship opportunities at COMS 2005.
