Development of Graduate Level Optoelectronics Packaging Courses at San Jose State University

摘要

A new graduate level curriculum to address the needs of the optoelectronic packaging industry has been proposed and is in the process of being developed. This effort builds on the interdisciplinary concentration area in microelectronic packaging that San Jose State University's College of Engineering has been offering since January 1991. The current effort is also interdisciplinary and is being undertaken by the College of Engineering and the Physics Department. Two new courses will be developed: Introduction to Optoelectronic Packaging, an engineering graduate level course and Principles and Applications of Optoelectronics, a senior level Physics course. Two of the existing core courses in microelectronic packaging, Mechanical and Thermal Requirements for Microelectronic Packaging and Microelectronic Packaging Materials Science, will be modified so that micro- and optoelectronic packaging will both be covered, building on the synergy that exists between the two fields.
