The course was recently changed from 2 credits to 3 creditsto allow for expanding the laboratory component of the course. The total laboratory hours inthe course were not changed (one 2-hour session each week). However, with the additionalclass time, better preparation is possible making the laboratory sessions more efficient

The polymer, ceramic, and metallic materials used to construct andpackage electronic devices are chosen and combined carefully to take advantage of thedistinctive physical and mechanical properties of each material category. During the labsession students dissect and examine devices and electronic packaging systems tounderstand more about the ways materials can be used together to create complexstructures. The lab was designed for lower division students who are not materialsscience majors. Emphasis is placed on understanding the physical and mechanicalproperties involved in material selection, and on understanding how combinations ofmaterial types can be used to satisfy design

However, currenttechnology has not been incorporated in the teaching of the material. Specifically, there is achapter in most texts that addresses basic finite element analysis (FEA) theory. However, FEA isnot used to teach the concepts of machine design. Conversely, the content of machine design isnot used to enhance
