Progress in electronics packaging virtual laboratory development

Abstract

The development of information technology has opened new perspectives in electronics packaging education to prepare engineers for the needs of the 21/sup st/ century. The Department of Electronics Technology has been working on the improvement of the education in this respect for many years. It has obtained an IEEE/NSF grant in 1999 to create the Virtual Laboratory, a solution of the educational support with the newest and high-quality Web-technology.
