A new approach to improving undergraduate research

Research is the keystone in modern-day evidence-based medical practice, the importance of which cannot be overemphasized.

Industrial Testing Education at Undergraduate Level: A Datasheet and Diagnosis Based Labs Approach

This paper addresses industrial testing education. This work is done in the context of a French network (CNFM) which provides an access to industrial test equipment to academic people. The actual shared resource is a Verigy V93K System-onChip (SoC) tester platform. Undergraduate students often use digital integrated circuits (IC) in their labs and refer to the datasheet without a deep understan...
