WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2002

Educators and Researchers at MIT, Stanford, Cornell,

and University of Michigan Select IntelliSuite(TM)

Corning IntelliSense Corporation, a subsidiary of Corning Incorporated, announced today that educators and researchers at the forefront of the study of MicroElectro MechanicalSystems (MEMS) and affiliated with major universities have selected IntelliSuite as their CAD for MEMS(TM) platform. Faculty at MIT, Stanford, Cornell, and the University of Michigan have joined IntelliSense's University Partner Program, which gives them access to curriculum planning resources, joint publication opportunities, and industry contacts.

"Corning IntelliSense is part of a company with pioneering technical vision," said Jerome Connor, Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT. "When I started teaching about sensors and other devices enabled with MEMS, I was looking for a stable software partner that believed in MEMS technology and would lend its expertise to my efforts to establish a curriculum in Sensing and Control of Physical Infrastructure using MEMS-based Sensors. There was really only one choice for a partner. Corning's advanced materials heritage and IntelliSense's ten-year history in the MEMS market make the combined company a supplier with a long-term presence. Corning IntelliSense has proved to be more than just a software vendor -- it is a true partner."

Gabriel Rebeiz, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, added, "IntelliSuite is an excellent device-level MEMS design tool. It provides an intuitive interface and consistently-accurate results."

"IntelliSuite's ability to get students up and running fast in my classroom is of vital importance," agreed Vaclav Kostroun, Associate Professor, Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell. "IntelliSuite's unique, easy-to-use, process-focused nature was key to my selecting it as the MEMS design tool for my course. The ability to show the relationships between real-world processing parameters and physical results makes it a true teaching tool."

"Our University Partners are among the leading MEMS scholars in the world," remarked David Hill, President, Corning IntelliSense. "We're pleased that they have selected Corning IntelliSense's software for use in their research and teaching. Whether they are studying advanced sensors or novel RF applications, IntelliSuite, because it has been developed in a foundry environment, is the most appropriate tool for determining how to build manufacturable devices. Over the years, we've observed IntelliSuite evolve to become the standard among leading universities that seek a teaching and research tool for process-oriented device design."

Dr. Donald B. Keck, Vice President and Director, Corning's Office of Research said, "Corning's competitive advantage comes from its distinct ability to meld materials, process and design expertise across multiple technologies. Our confidence in the future stems from our 150-year history of anticipating and driving major market opportunities based on technology platforms, such as we believe exist in MEMS. It's our vision. Corning IntelliSense will continue to provide its market-leading CAD for MEMS software as well as its custom design, development, and manufacturing services to the growing MEMS industry."
