microelectronics Process Engineering at san jose state university a manufacturing oriented interdisciplinary degree program
International Journal of Engineering Education, 2002Co-Authors: E. L. Allen, Stacy H Gleixner, David W Parent, Greg Young, Yasser Dessouky, Linda VanasupaAbstract:San Jose State University’s new interdisciplinary curriculum in Microelectronics Process Engineering is described. This baccalaureate program emphasizes hands-on thin-film fabrication experience, manufacturing methods such as statistical Process control, and fundamentals of materials science and semiconductor device physics. Each course of the core laboratory sequence integrates fabrication knowledge with Process Engineering and manufacturing methods. The curriculum development Process relies on clearly defined and detailed program and course learning objectives. We also briefly discuss our strategy of making Process Engineering experiences accessible for all Engineering students through both Lab Module and Statistics Module series.

A new program in Microelectronics Process Engineering at San Jose State University
Proceedings of the UGIM Symposium, Microelectronics Education for the Future. Twelfth Biennial University/Government/Industry Microelectronics Symposi, 1997Co-Authors: Anthony J. Muscat, E. L. AllenAbstract:San Jose State University is initiating a new undergraduate BS degree program in Microelectronics Process Engineering. The program is being developed by a team of faculty in chemical and materials Engineering. The program is designed to provide the broad Engineering fundamentals expected of any undergraduate Engineering degree, as well as specific science, Process design and Process Engineering of microelectronics, information storage, and other technologies which rely on thin film and surface fabrication techniques. Graduates of the program would be positioned for entry level Process Engineering jobs in the semiconductor and related industries which rely on similar Process technology. The new program is built on the success of two courses that have been developed over the past three years, one in electronic materials Processing and the other in electronic materials properties. The program is designed to have a strong industrial component both in support of the laboratory and in the senior design projects

épée : A support environment for Process Engineering software
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 1996Co-Authors: Des Costello, G. H. Ballinger, R. Bañares-alcántara, Eric S. Fraga, Jens Krabbe, D. Murray Laing, Rory C Mckinnel, J.w. Ponton, Neil Skilling, M. W. SpenceleyAbstract:Abstract This paper describes epee, a distributed environment for the integration of software applications. It was developed with the aim of aiding the Process of design by providing the necessary support for a design information management system. The software environment is first described in general terms and then our specific application of epee to Process Engineering design is presented. epee uses an object-oriented approach to data management. Data are represented as objects whose definitions, via templates, reflect the Process Engineering design environment. The use of focussed methods promotes a consistent look and feel to the tools in the environment. Method reuse reduces software development costs and increases users' confidence in the reliability of the methods. The benefits of the history recording mechanism in epee and its object publishing facilities are described. A history record is a critical component of a high level design management system. This, together with the sharing of data through object publishing, provides the necessary support for collaborative design. The application of epee to Process Engineering design illustrates the benefits of object-oriented techniques to the Process systems and design community. The inherent extensibility of object definitions facilitates the application of the support system to any area of design. The dynamic nature of object definitions in epee encourages exploration and experimentation with new data types and methods.

épée: a Process Engineering software environment
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 1994Co-Authors: G. H. Ballinger, R. Bañares-alcántara, Des Costello, Eric S. Fraga, Jens Krabbe, Haitham M.s. Lababidi, D. Murray Laing, Rory C Mckinnel, J.w. Ponton, Neil SkillingAbstract:Abstract We describe the development to date of epee , an object oriented Process Engineering software environment, epee provides interfaces to a set of standard, but extensible, Process Engineering objects such as Processes , streams and components . It provides user interfaces, such as graphical editors, to create and manipulate these objects. Most importantly, epee provides standard software interfaces to objects, to enable a wide range of applications: flowsheeting, synthesis and design programs, to communicate with the objects and hence each other and with users.

Artificial intelligence for Process Engineering — state of the art
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 1993Co-Authors: G. Muratet, P. BourseauAbstract:Abstract Good reviews on artificial intelligence and Process Engineering are regularly published in the litterature (see for example Stephanopoulos 1990 a and Ponton 1991). The present paper deals with the fundamental work which is necessary before transforming Process engineer reasoning into a computer program. The main application domains are also presented.
