Microelectronics Week for Teachers
UD’s 5-day Microelectronics Week for Teachers will engage high school teachers from the broader Delaware region. Each day of the program comprises two lectures on microelectronics theory and practice and a lab component focusing on hands-on training on microelectronics. At the end of each day, the participants will complete a short quiz to assess their understanding of the topics covered.
Day 1. The theme of the day is an introduction to microelectronics.
Day 2. The second day’s theme is microelectronic circuits to drive electric motors.
Day 3. Building on the training of the first two days, day three will focus on Microcontrollers.
Day 4. Focus will be on learning how MEMS systems work, emphasizing sensors.
Day 5. The last day will focus on the security of microelectronics, emphasizing side channels.
