Abstract

This paper presents a new analog product and test engineering course geared for undergraduate and master´s-level graduate students. Industrial support has had a significant influence on the course by supplying real-world experiences for the instructor, data from real integrated circuits, and software providing hands-on experiences for the students. The students felt that the course provided a clear application of many of the concepts in their core courses and the industrial contributions significantly improved the quality of the course.
