    • Materials and Microsystems Integration (MMI) introduces students to the world of smart systems integration. This course will discuss current electronic packaging methods and extend this to advanced 3-dimensional integration of electronics. Materials, materials compatibility and technologies used to achieve electronic integration will be discussed, as well as a virtual lab designed to give you experience in scientific writing, designing of experiments and interpretation of results from a interconnect solution for smart system integration.
