A multi-university web-based undergraduate course in electronics packaging

The interdisciplinary nature of electronics packaging provides some significant opportunities to industry and academe. Industrial and academic leaders have long advocated exposure of students to multidisciplinary design experiences on a broader scale. A course in electronics packaging provides an ideal vehicle for teaching multidisciplinary design. Furthermore, a course that assumes only a basic freshman science and math background as its prerequisite, would be readily accessible to all engineering and physical science majors, providing a wide talent pool from which to draw future packaging engineers. Such a course is proposed in this paper.
