Electronics school training courses in Boston, MA (public, in-house or online)

This laboratory course explores the concepts of nanotechnology through classic nanofabrication and nano-analysis. Through nanofabrication we introduce two approaches to fabricate nanoscale devices and materials: bottom-up nanofabrication and top-down nanofabrication. Bottom-up fabrication forms device structures directly from mechanisms of material growth such as atomic layer deposition methods. Top-down nanofabrication produces nanometre scale devices from bulk materials by lithography techniqu...

This course forms the digital half of a two-semester sequence that provides a lab-intensive survey of electronics (the analog half of the sequence is PHYS E-123a). It covers digital design, emphasizing microprocessors and microcontrollers as well as programmable logic devices, and provides an understanding of the fundamentals of computer circuitry. After examining analog-digital interfacing issues, students program and attach peripherals to a microcontroller. We offer the design in either of two...

Medical Electronics Engineering Technology appeals to students desiring to be both technical and at the same time devote their careers to saving lives by helping doctors and hospital patients. Graduates become biomedical technicians and maintain, repair, and calibrate the electronic medical instruments used in healthcare. To advance in these careers it is also important to develop skills in communicating problems, ideas and solutions to other employees.

This program will develop troublesh...
