Ebook: Microelectronics Education: Proceedings of the 5th European Workshop on Microelectronics Education, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, April 15–16, 2004

In this book key contributions on developments and challenges in research and education on microelectronics, microsystems and related areas are published.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: emerging fields in design and technology, new concepts in teaching, multimedia in microelectronics, industrial roadmaps and microelectronic education, curricula, nanoelectronics teaching, long distance education.

The book is intended for academic education level and targets professors, researchers and PhDs involved in microelectronics and/or more generally, in electrical engineering, microsystems and material sciences.

The 2004 edition of European Workshop on Microelectronics Education (EWME) is particularly focused on the interface between microelectronics and bio-medical sciences.
