E-learning for MEMS graduate course - Challenges, difficulties and benefits

Graduate courses can be easily adapted to e-learning education with higher degree educational freedom allowing an adapted portfolio. Electronic type learning permits students to continue their studies while working part time and getting experience from the industry. Nevertheless, e-learning for graduate courses with manufacturing projects present some serious challenges and considerations. This article presents the challenges, difficulties and benefits of e-learning RF MEMS graduate course and proposes friendly solutions to overcome the related difficulties. The solutions described in this paper can be easily adapted and applicable to other graduate courses with the same type of experimental projects
