Test Education

Background
Test engineering is assuming an increasingly important role in the successful exploitation of new semiconductor/ system-on-chip/ mixed signal/ microelectronic technologies. Developments in new technologies, in particular mobile telecomms and wireless products, are leading to revolutionary product concepts and market opportunities. Companies are expanding their design and test functions and embracing a 'Design for Test' philosophy, using leading-edge semiconductor test methods to verify that complex designs can be executed right first time.

ISLI Objectives
In the area of test engineering, the ISLI syllabus addresses a need for:

  • Industrially relevant education and training in effective test methods for semiconductor products.
  • A ready supply of quality graduates attracted to test engineering as a vibrant career opportunity.
  • Opportunities for advanced research in test engineering areas through a new MPhil programme.

2001 Schedule
The schedule combines fundamental and applied topics, delivered as intensive short courses. This approach benefits not only experienced test engineers, but also enables graduate trainees to develop a good understanding of topics on both theoretical and practical levels.
