• assess the viability of miniaturizing a fluid mehcanical process

• have an overview of microfluidic applications and devices

• know how to generate droplets in a microdevice

• assess the efficiency of a micromixer

• know how to drive fluid and separate particles with an electric field

• model and simulate microflows

• understand challenges towards nanofluidics
