Within the United States’ a new form of engineering education has become popularized: project-based learning particularly for first-year engineering students. Often hands-on projects courses become ...

Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

Semiconductor process engineers would love to develop successful process recipes without the guesswork of repeated wafer testing. Unfortunately, developing a successful process can’t be done without ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

Models of biopharmaceutical production processes are more accurate and predictive if all downstream steps are considered together rather than individually. At least that’s according to researchers at ...

Automation aims to standardize industrial operations and bring overall efficiency to today’s production lines. Such gains, however, may come with considerable effort, as engineering teams must ...

The pace of product design, development, and manufacturing is accelerating like never before, and consumers are demanding more from their products. Many products, like coffee makers and even doorbells ...
