Reviews current initiatives in Europe and elsewhere on innovation in teaching microelectronics and microsystems, focusing on courses at the university and polytechnic level. Details the curriculum content desired by the major industrial players; describes innovative methods in teaching; and lists several multi-media initiatives in distance learning, virtual laboratories, and virtual campus environments. Among the 68 topics are an initiative to address the skills shortage in the industry in Ireland, an interactive learning environment for the practical training of digital electronics, education in microsystem design and realization, the mechanical engineering component in a curriculum, multimedia web-based courseware, materials analysis in the MODEM project, and an analog integrated circuit demonstrator for electronic engineering education.
