The students need to take some courses like statistics, thermodynamics, experimental design etc. so that they can analyze the observed data in a more accurate way. Reference:1.

5This course attracted enrollment of employees from nearby A.T. & T. (formerly Western Electric) andsubsequently Lucent (now Agere/LSI) and from a Ford/Visteon plant that was just in the planning stagesin 1987. In the mid-nineties the semiconductor industry was in the throes of debates about wafer sizes(forecasts going to 300mm.) and the projected high costs of building new s-c fabrications plants (fabs). Itwas decided to assign students in MSE496 with the task of developing a product/process forecast as thebasis for making an estimate of the costs and potential output for a 300mm. wafer fab projected to beoperational in 2001. There were sufficient numbers of students to assign teams with responsibility foreach process sector; diffusion
