To best prepare students for the latest innovations in their field, some courses at never look the same twice.

That's true for ECE 512, which gives students in the Pierre R. Lamond Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering an up-to-date look at emerging semiconductor device technologies.

“It is a dive into a very cutting-edge space," said Aaron Franklin, who has been leading and revising the course since 2014. “The goal is to provide students with an understanding of the latest developments in semiconductor technology and enough conceptual mastery to be able to track and understand exploratory work that’s happening and what could come in the future.”
