Microelectronic design cooperative education program
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe our experiences in using microelectronic design projects as cooperative education experiences for electrical engineering majors. We discuss funding of the necessary VLSI design laboratory and describe our course offerings. We believe our “alternative co-op” program is of value to VLSI educators with limited resources who are looking for ways to provide students with an alternative to the traditional co-op experience.
