This module aims to provide the students with a fundamental concept of microelectronic device and micro systems. It also serves as a contribution to develop the independent learning and experimental skills of microelectronics.
A Familiarise with microelectronics, integrated circuits and MEMS technology B Understand the fundamental concepts of microelectronic devices and micro systems and their applications C Demonstrate the ability to present the experimental results in academic style
The teaching philosophy of the module follows very much the philosophy of Syntegrative Education. This has meant that the teaching delivery pattern, which follows more intensive block teaching, allows more meaningful contribution from industry partners. This philosophy is carried through also in terms of assessment, with reduction on the use of exams and increase in coursework, especially problem-based assessments that are project focused. The delivery pattern provides space in the semester for students to concentrate on completing the assessments. This module will be delivered through Lectures and Labs. Teaching will be through problem-based learning, with problems embedded in the lectures and use made of student response systems to provide formative assessment to the students. This module under block teaching mode will be delivered in 6 weeks pattern. The Lectures will take place from Week 1 to 5 and Lab section will be in Week 6.
