A Thick-Film Microcircuit Laboratory

A successful, student oriented, minimum super-vision, thick-film microcircuit laboratory is described. Key laboratory processes and examples of student projects are illustrated. In the laboratory, emphasis is placed on the use of thick-film technology as a design medium which enables the student to relate theoretical models to real world problems. Laboratory organization is discussed and sources of equipment and supplies noted. A detailed outline of associated lecture topics with references is also given.
