Electronics packaging - a Web-based course for the IEEE community

The authors profile a course that is a Web-based enhancement of a new graduate. course entitled "Electronics Packaging" that was developed and introduced into the ECE Department at Rutgers University during the spring of 2001. This new course deals with the electrical characterization and modeling of the parasitics for integrated circuit packaging. The course is targeted to the electrical engineering graduate population of full-time students and industry part-time graduate students that have a background in circuit analysis. The authors discuss the status of the course and demonstrate a sample of the Web designed lectures related to the electrical parasitics of the package.
